Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Trailing Point Skinning Knife – Rosewood, Red Padauk, Blue Resin & Tiger Bamboo Handle with Hand-Tooled Leather Sheath TKT-9
Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Trailing Point Skinning Knife – Rosewood, Red Padauk, Blue Resin & Tiger Bamboo Handle with Hand-Tooled Leather Sheath
The most visually striking handle configuration in the Titan International Knives lineup, this hand-forged Damascus steel skinning knife pairs an elegant trailing point blade with a four-material handle that moves through warm wood tones and lands on a bold cobalt blue resin inlay unlike anything else in the collection. Every element is deliberate — from the blade geometry to the material layering — and no two handles will ever look exactly alike.
The blade is forged from high-layer Damascus steel featuring a complex flowing pattern of elongated waves, nested ovals, and ladder formations across the full blade face. The trailing point profile — where the spine curves upward to meet an elevated tip — is the preferred blade shape for hide work and skinning, as it allows long, smooth slicing strokes through hide without the tip digging into the surface. The extended blade length adds reach for larger game and longer cuts at camp.
The handle runs four distinct materials from pommel to blade: rich rosewood at the top, followed by deep red padauk, a vivid cobalt blue resin inlay at the center, and tiger bamboo at the lower section with its natural amber and dark-stripe figure. Brass spacers separate each section cleanly, and the Titan signature medallion sits on the upper section alongside brass pins throughout. A small forward finger guard at the base of the blade adds hand security during heavy use.
The included hand-tooled leather sheath is two-tone brown and black with circular stamp edge tooling, gold saddle stitching, and a brass snap closure with belt loop for dependable field carry.
Intended for lawful outdoor and hunting use by adults 18 years of age or older. Please review your local and state laws regarding fixed-blade knife carry before purchase.

Care Instructions:
After each use, wipe the blade clean and dry immediately with a soft cloth, paying attention to the tip curve where moisture can collect. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or camellia oil to the full blade to protect the Damascus pattern and prevent rust. Clean the handle with a dry cloth — avoid submerging or prolonged water exposure. The wood sections (rosewood, padauk, tiger bamboo) can be periodically treated with a small amount of linseed or tung oil to maintain hydration and color. The blue resin inlay is durable but should be kept away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading over time. Condition the leather sheath regularly with a quality leather conditioner and store the knife outside the sheath when not in active use.
