Hand-Forged Damascus Tracker Knife

This 14-inch tracker knife is hand forged from Damascus steel and built for outdoor use. The full-tang construction runs the entire length of the handle for maximum strength. It suits hunters, campers and bushcraft enthusiasts who need a robust fixed blade. The natural walnut handle scales feature lanyard holes for secure carry.

8.5-Inch Tanto Blade and Hardness

The 8.5-inch tanto blade is folded from 1095 and 15N20 high- and low-carbon steels into over 200 layers. Heat treatment brings the edge to 58-60 HRC for long-lasting sharpness during heavy cutting tasks. The thick spine withstands batoning and prying, though the single-edge profile limits fine slicing compared to a drop point. Users needing a lighter everyday carry knife will find the size impractical.

Carbon-Steel Maintenance Required

The high-carbon Damascus blade will rust if moisture is left on the surface. The supplier advises cleaning and oiling after each use and warns against long-term storage in the included leather sheath because leather absorbs water. Buyers unwilling to maintain a carbon-steel edge should consider stainless alternatives.

Questions about this item

Will the 14-inch overall length and 8.5-inch tanto blade balance well with my existing 10-inch camp knife?

The 14-inch overall length and 8.5-inch tanto blade shift the balance point forward, giving more chopping leverage than a 10-inch knife while the full-tang construction keeps the handle solid under heavy use.

How can I confirm the 58-60 HRC hardness is holding an edge after I start using it?

A proper 58-60 HRC edge will slice paper cleanly after extended wood processing and show only a fine burr rather than rolling; if it rolls or chips, the heat treatment may be off.

Does the package include the cow-hide leather sheath and is anything else needed to start using it?

The extra-thick cow-hide leather sheath is included; you only need to apply a light coat of oil to the Damascus blade before first use and avoid long-term storage in the sheath to prevent moisture buildup.
