Full-Tang Damascus Gut Hook

This hand-forged knife combines a 3.5-inch gut hook blade with a 4.25-inch handle scaled in bull horn, camel bone and Damascus bolster secured by four silver pins. The twist-pattern Damascus steel is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon layers approximately 4 mm thick. A robust leather sheath with a belt loop is included for carry.

Upgrade From Folding Or Partial-Tang Blades

The full-tang construction removes the flex and handle separation common in folding knives or rat-tail tang designs, making it reliable for heavy field dressing. Hunters who have snapped lesser knives when prying through joints will find the solid steel core a decisive improvement. The jump is worth it whenever a single tool must handle both the initial cut and the final skinning pull.

Capacity For Medium Game And Daily Carry

The 8-inch overall length and 3.5-inch blade provide enough belly for deer and hog while remaining compact enough for belt wear. The high-carbon Damascus edge holds a keen profile through multiple animals but will rust if neglected; oil the blade after each use and never store it long-term in the leather sheath. Buyers needing a dedicated boning knife or a larger chopping blade should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much belt space does the leather sheath's loop need?

The sheath includes a belt-inserting loop designed for standard belt widths; slide the belt through the loop and snap the retention strap to carry the 8 inch overall knife securely.

What is the correct way to seat the full-tang blade in the sheath so the gut hook does not catch?

Hold the knife by the 4.25 inch handle, point the 3.5 inch gut hook blade downward, and insert it straight into the sheath until the bolster contacts the sheath mouth; forcing it at an angle can snag the hook.

How should I maintain the Damascus steel blade to prevent rust?

Clean the 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon Damascus blade after each use, dry it thoroughly, apply a light coat of oil or wax, and never store the knife long-term inside the leather sheath.
