Damascus Hunter Desert Ironwood Burl Handle

Crafted in Winnipeg, Canada, this medium-sized, all-purpose hunting knife boasts a stunning 400-layer composition of 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel. This blade has been meticulously hand-forged and polished to reveal a beautiful pattern, making it a unique addition to any collection. While the blade has artistic features, each part of the knife is designed for use. The high carbon Damascus steel holds an excellent edge for skinning, and the Ironwood handle will keep the blade securely in hand and resist moisture, making this an aesthetic and durable piece.

While the pattern itself is dramatic, I wanted to source a really unique wood for the handle. I came across some stunning Desert Ironwood Burl from Arizona. This wood has a rich dark grain with hints of orange and red throughout, and the natural oils in the wood allowed for a high polish. This wood will hold up very well and is extremely comfortable in hand. Furthermore, I featured a slice of Mammoth tusk by the guard as an aesthetic choice. The brass blade guard helps keep the blade securely in hand and ensures that your hand doesn't slip onto the blade under wet or messy situations.

This blade also includes a custom leather sheath, carefully crafted and designed for easy carrying and safe storage.
