8" Damascus Gut Hook Knife

This 8 inch hand forged Damascus steel knife features a full tang blade with a gut hook designed for field dressing. The polished bull horn handle scales include a Damascus bolster, two brass pins, a mosaic pin and a lanyard hole for secure grip. A thick cow leather sheath with belt loop is included for carry.

Upgrade from basic folder

Replaces small folding knives that lack a dedicated gut hook and full tang strength for skinning tasks. The 56 to 58 HRC hardness from 1095 and 15N20 layered steel holds an edge longer than softer stainless blades. The jump is worth it when you process game regularly and need a fixed blade that withstands heavy use.

Build around carbon steel care

The high carbon Damascus blade requires immediate cleaning and oiling after each use to prevent rust. Never store the knife long term in the leather sheath because absorbed moisture causes corrosion. This discipline frees you from frequent sharpening and keeps the blade ready for every hunt.

Questions about this item

What are the handle length and attachment details on this 8" Damascus skinning knife?

The bull horn scale measures 4 inches and is secured with two brass pins, a mosaic pin, and an inserting hole for extra strength.

What is the correct way to store this high-carbon Damascus knife after use?

Clean the blade, apply oil or wax, and store it outside the leather sheath because leather absorbs moisture that causes rust.

How should rust be removed if it appears on the 1095 and 15N20 Damascus blade?

Use WD-40 to remove accidental rust, then clean and re-oil the blade to protect the 56 to 58 HRC edge.
