Made in USA Knives

Some knives get used up. This hand-forged Damascus steel hunting knife is built to be handed down — a 10-inch blade that will outlast the trips you take it on, and probably you too.

The knife begins as two steels — 1085 high-carbon for the balance point between edge retention and toughness, and 15N20 nickel steel for resilience and shine. Folded and hammered into 288 layers, then ground and etched until the raindrop pattern surfaces: bright rings of nickel scattered across dark carbon steel, like rain hitting still water. That pattern isn't printed on. It's the forging itself, made visible — and no two blades ever carry the same one.

Full tang, so the steel runs unbroken from tip to pommel — nothing to loosen, nothing to fail when you're leaning into a cut. The handle is built in layers of its own: Ram & Buffalo horn with resin, a copper spacer, and brass fittings. It arrives polished. Ten years of grip, weather, and campfires will make it something no factory could ship — a handle worn to the shape of your hand. The hand-stitched leather sheath rides on your belt and ages right alongside it.

Dry it after use. Oil it before you put it away. Do that, and one day this knife goes into someone else's hands with your marks already on it.

Care of a Damascus Steel

Damascus steel has a high carbon content which gives it a long-lasting edge. However, the carbon makes it susceptible to rust when it is subjected to moisture. To avoid this wash your knives in warm water with any standard dish soap and fully dry with a fresh towel. Once dry take a cloth or paper towel and coat the knife with oil. We recommend Mineral Oil as it is cheap, food-safe, and does not spoil. Any cooking oil will do the job short term however it is not recommended for long storage times due to spoiling.

If your knife ends up with some rust on it, don't worry! It's an easy fix!

On a fresh blade rust can form within minutes, and it can be a scary sight but don't lose hope yet! If rust appears, rub the blade down with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, wash with warm soapy water, hand dry, then oil the blade as normal. Over time your knife will develop a patina and will become more lenient to moisture. High Carbon Damascus does require a bit more care than your grandmas bread knife, but the quality, performance, and user experience make it more than worth it!

Here's some quick tips for your reference.

-Wash in warm soapy water and dry immediately.

-Use mineral oil to coat the blade before storing.

-If you get rust, vinegar will fix it.

-Do not store knives in the leather roll for long periods of time, the leather can hold moisture against the blade. If you have to do it, apply a heavy coat of oil before storing.
