A sturdy hunting knife suitable for both initial meat processing and subsequent cutting. Its blade is hand-forged from Damascus steel, which makes it very hard yet flexible and durable.
These unique material properties are achieved by creating an alloy of soft and hard metals, resulting in the best hunting knife with the well-known Damascus steel pattern, which, thanks to its micro-serrated edge, will last a long time and retain its sharpness without sharpening for a very long time.
The blade’s significant spread makes it an excellent skinning knife, while the easily controllable blade tip and tapered blade end prevent injury to internal organs during evisceration or unnecessary cuts during subsequent meat processing.
On the other hand, the wood used in the handles of our hand-forged knives feels much more pleasant and comfortable in the hand than synthetic materials.
For the hunter’s own safety, there is a guard between the handle and the blade that prevents accidental finger injuries while cleaning and processing game, even if the hands are slippery.
The Damascus steel hunting knife set also includes a durable dark leather sheath with a sturdy riveted closure, which will protect the knife from inclement weather and prevent it from being lost accidentally. The pouch has two loops that can be attached to a belt for easy access to the knife at any time. One of them is a classic fixed loop, while the other is a free-hanging loop that allows the knife to dangle freely from the belt while still allowing you to move freely and avoid the discomfort that arises when sitting or moving from mast to mast in a car, where a fixed loop would press uncomfortably against your leg or waist.
This elegant, hand-forged knife will last a long time and, thanks to its outstanding features, will be a reliable and top-quality hunting knife. It is lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand, ensuring a fast, safe, effective, and high-quality experience.
Hand-forged Damascus steel is created using a set of steel layers with varying hardness and viscosity, which are folded into a plate in a specific sequence. The plate is then repeatedly forged, which creates layers and a unique pattern.
This complex technological process is carried out by hand. The steel produced in this way is characterized by increased strength, high hardness, excellent cutting properties, and beauty.
Damascus steel consists of more than 700–1,000 layers.
Damascus steel composition: ShH15 + HVG + U10A, heat resistance 860 °C
