Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Hunting Dagger Knife with Stag Antler & Green Wood Handle, Leather Sheath

Handmade Damascus Steel Hunting Dagger Knife with Stag Antler Handle & Leather Sheath

Engineered for field dressing, outdoor survival, and collector-grade display, this custom handmade Damascus steel hunting dagger combines robust piercing geometry with fine artisanal knifemaking. The spear-point blade is hand-forged from high-carbon Damascus steel, displaying an intricate, high-contrast folded grain pattern that provides long-lasting edge retention, balance, and structural resilience under demanding outdoor conditions.

The blade features a sharp center ridge, clean bevel grinds, and custom decorative filework hand-carved along the spine for refined detail and extra thumb purchase. Anchored by a polished solid brass single-finger guard, the hilt is sculpted around an authentic natural stag antler core showcasing organic, rugged bark texture. The antler is framed by emerald-green stabilized wood/pakkawood spacer bands and finished with a matching polished brass butt cap for optimal counterweight and balance. A heavy-duty, hand-stitched brown leather sheath is included, featuring yellow saddle stitching, an embossed brass star medallion on the retention strap, and a sturdy belt loop for secure everyday carry.

Care & Maintenance

High-carbon Damascus steel requires simple routine care to maintain its sharpness and detailed etch pattern. Always clean and thoroughly dry the blade after each use; never store it wet. Apply a light protective coat of mineral oil, knife wax, or gun oil across all steel and brass components before storage. Avoid long-term storage inside the leather sheath in humid environments to protect the blade against moisture.
