Blade Details

The blade is hand forged from high carbon steel and finished with a stone wash treatment that leaves a matte, slightly textured surface across the blade flat. Stone wash finish is a practical choice for a working knife — it hides light scratches and field wear, reduces light reflection, and gives the blade a rugged, purposeful appearance that improves with use. The drop point profile is the most versatile blade shape for hunting and survival tasks: a controlled, slightly lowered tip for safe, precise skinning and detail work, with a full, capable belly for slicing. At 7 inches, this blade has real cutting capability without sacrificing the control and balance needed for precision field work.

Handle Details

The pale natural stag antler handle stands out visually against the dark stone wash blade — a striking contrast that makes this knife as impressive to look at as it is to use. Stag antler is dense, warm in the hand, and naturally textured with a porous surface that provides excellent grip even when wet. No two pieces of stag antler are the same in grain, color, or shape, making every knife genuinely one of a kind. The steel crossguard sits firmly at the shoulder, providing secure hand protection and a positive index point for the grip during sustained use.

Sheath Details

The plain genuine brown leather sheath is hand cut and stitched to fit this knife precisely. Clean, smooth brown leather with stitching along both edges and a brass snap button for secure blade retention. The belt loop fits standard belts for comfortable vertical hip carry. Simple, clean, and built to protect the blade and edge through field use and daily carry.

Craftsmanship

Every element of this knife is made by hand. The blade is forged, shaped, and stone wash finished by a craftsman. The handle is fitted and assembled by hand — the antler shaped, the crossguard set, the full tang pinned securely. The sheath is cut and stitched by hand. This is genuine handmade fixed blade craft with no shortcuts.

Store in a dry, ventilated space away from moisture.

Keep out of reach of children. Always follow applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding carrying of fixed-blade knives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stone wash blade finish?
Stone wash is a finishing process where the blade is tumbled with abrasive media, leaving a matte, slightly textured surface. It is a practical finish for working knives — it hides light scratches and wear, reduces glare in the field, and gives the blade a rugged character that improves with use.

What is a drop point blade?
A drop point has a spine that curves gradually downward toward the tip, creating a strong, controlled point that sits slightly below the spine centerline. This makes it excellent for skinning and field dressing — the tip is precise without being fragile, and the full belly of the blade provides strong slicing capability.

Is this a full tang knife?
Yes — full tang construction runs the blade steel through the complete 5-inch handle length for maximum strength, balance, and durability.

Is the pale stag antler handle slippery?
Natural stag antler has a porous, naturally textured surface that provides excellent grip even when wet. The pale color of this particular antler section shows the natural grain and character of the material beautifully.

Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes. The striking contrast between the dark stone wash blade and the pale stag antler handle makes this one of the most visually distinctive handmade knives available. It arrives with the leather sheath and is ready to gift.
