Hand-Forged Damascus Tanto Knife

The 8-inch overall length knife features a 4-inch full-tang Tanto blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. Rosewood handle scales include a Damascus bolster with red fiber and brass spacers secured by mosaic pins. A thick cow leather sheath with a belt loop is included for carry.

High-Carbon Steel Care Requirements

Damascus steel with high carbon content will rust if moisture remains on the blade or if stored long-term in the leather sheath. Leather absorbs water and accelerates corrosion. The blade must be cleaned, dried, and coated with oil or wax after every use to maintain condition.

Fixed Blade Dimensions and Limits

The 4-inch blade length and 4 mm thickness suit standard hunting and camp tasks such as field dressing or batoning. The fixed overall length of 8 inches prevents pocket carry and requires belt mounting. Buyers needing a folding mechanism or a longer blade for heavy chopping should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Which blade length suits a hunting knife that must also handle camp chores?

The 4-inch Tanto blade keeps the overall length at 8 inches, giving enough edge for field dressing while remaining compact enough for general camp tasks.

What does the 4 mm thickness mean when the knife is put to work?

A 4 mm spine on the full-tang Damascus blade adds rigidity for batoning and heavy cuts without excessive weight.

How does the 200-layer Damascus construction affect edge holding?

Forging 1095 and 15N20 steels into over 200 layers creates a hard, wear-resistant edge that stays sharp longer during field use.
