Every detail — from the hand-forged Damascus blade to the carved micarta handle — is built to perform and built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade — Damascus Steel, Drop-Point\u003c\/strong\u003e The blade is hand-forged from a combination of 1095 high-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel alloy steel, folded and hammer-welded to produce a flowing concentric topographic Damascus pattern with 300+ distinct layers. Acid-etched to reveal the full depth of the pattern and tempered to 57–60 HRC, the blade holds a keen working edge through extended field use and sharpens readily in the field. The drop-point profile offers a strong, controllable tip with a generous cutting belly — a practical geometry for game processing, camp tasks, and general outdoor utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle — Hand-Carved Black Micarta\u003c\/strong\u003e The handle scales are crafted from black micarta — a premium composite of compressed linen layers in a phenolic resin matrix, valued by knife makers for its exceptional durability, dimensional stability in wet conditions, and comfortable grip. The scales are hand-carved with a full fish scale texture across the entire surface, creating a deeply tactile, non-slip grip that performs in gloves or wet hands. Two domed stainless steel pins secure the full-tang construction, and a small integral guard at the bolster provides added hand protection during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheath — Black Leather, Vertical Belt Carry\u003c\/strong\u003e Included is a clean, no-frills black full-grain leather belt sheath with a single brass snap closure and white saddle stitching. The vertical carry design keeps the knife upright and accessible at the hip. Brown leather interior lining protects the blade finish during storage and carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Steel: Damascus (1095 HC + 15N20 Nickel Alloy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Style: Drop-Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDamascus Layers: 300+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Finish: Acid-Etched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Hardness: 57–60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOverall Knife Size: 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle: Hand-Carved Black Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHardware: Domed Stainless Steel Pins, Integral Guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eConstruction: Full Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSheath: Black Full-Grain Leather, Brass Snap, Vertical Belt Carry, White Saddle Stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIncludes: Fitted leather belt sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a light coat of mineral oil or Flitz polish to the blade after use to maintain the Damascus finish and prevent oxidation.
