Damascus Hunter Makassar Ebony & Antler Handle

Crafted in Winnipeg, Canada, this medium-sized, all-purpose hunting knife boasts a stunning 300-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, Makassar Ebony handle will keep the blade securely in hand and resist moisture, making this both an aesthetic and durable piece.

While the pattern itself is dramatic, I wanted to source a really unique wood for the handle. My favourite wood to use is Makassar Ebony. It's such a hard dense wood and polishes so well. Compared to Gaboon Ebony it has some deep browns going through it which bring out a richer tone that I love. This wood has a dramatic grain, and the natural tones of the wood pair well with a variety of other materials. For this piece I wanted to contrast the dark ebony with white Moose Antler. This wood will hold up very well and is extremely comfortable in hand. 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.
