Hunter Knife This knife is crafted from Damascus steel. The style suits preparing the game to be used as food; skinning, gutting or butchering of game animals. Hunting knives are quite adaptable and can be used in a variety of situations and for many different tasks. The blade is coffee etch finished which is used to darken the tool steel in etched Damascus for contrast. The swedge is the area along the spine of the blade, which is bevelled and creating a false (unsharpened) edge. The handle is Micarta. Micarta is a laminate of organic material such as paper or cloth that is pressed and dried in resin. Micarta knife handles are grippy, durable, and organic. It is strong and durable, and tolerates extremes of heat and cold, resists moisture, and doesn't become brittle with age. Most Micarta-handled knives will outlast their owners' lifespans; the handles simply don't wear out. This knife does not come with a sheath. However, a custom leather sheath may be purchased separately from our online store.
