Hunters and campers wanting a belt-worn fixed blade

This knife suits users who need a compact skinning tool with a full-tang Damascus blade and ram horn handle. Buyers who want a folding pocket knife or a larger chopping blade should look elsewhere.

56 to 58 HRC hardness from 1095 and 15N20 steel

The blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel and heat-treated to 56 to 58 HRC. This hardness level determines edge retention and sharpening behaviour for field dressing tasks.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the leather sheath to my belt securely?

Slide the belt through the integrated loop on the sheath until it sits snug against the bolster; the thick leather holds the knife firmly without extra fasteners.

What care does the Ram Horn handle need over time?

Wipe the handle dry after each use and apply a light coat of mineral oil occasionally to prevent the natural horn from drying or cracking.

At what hardness does the 1095/15N20 Damascus blade start to lose its edge during prolonged skinning?

The blade is hardened to 56 to 58 HRC, so extended field use will eventually roll the fine trailing point before the steel itself wears down.
