Damascus Hunting Knife Leather Sheath, Olive Wood Handle Full Tang Bushcraft Camping Blade Gift for Him Handforged Fixed Blade Skinner Knife

Hand-forged from 1080 and 15N20 high carbon steel, folded and twisted into roughly 288 layers. The two steels take etching differently — one darkens, the nickel-bearing one stays bright — and that contrast is what draws the pattern out of the blade.

Because the twist falls differently every time, the pattern on your knife exists nowhere else. The photographs show the style, not the exact piece you will receive.

The blade

A 4.5-inch drop point with a generous belly — the shape that actually works for skinning and field dressing, where you need to sweep along a hide without puncturing it. The same curve handles kitchen and camp work: slicing, portioning, food prep.

The spine carries hand-filed jimping for thumb grip when you choke up for detail cuts.

The handle

Two woods, not one. Olive wood at the front, dark hardwood at the rear, divided by a green fibre spacer and secured with brass pins and a mosaic centre pin. Olive wood is chosen by makers for its density and grain — it takes a warm polish and improves with handling.

Full tang construction throughout: the steel runs the entire length of the handle, so there is no joint to work loose.

Leather sheath included

Hand-stitched leather with contrast white saddle stitching, a tooled face and a brass button stud closure. Belt loop for vertical carry, moulded to this blade specifically so it seats firmly and stays put.

Care — please read

Damascus is high carbon steel, not stainless. It will develop a patina with use — this is normal and expected, not a defect. Wipe the blade clean and dry after every use, and apply a light coat of mineral oil before storing.

Do not store the knife inside the leather sheath for long periods. Leather holds moisture against carbon steel and will cause rust.
