Why the Black Powder-Coated Finish Still Matters

Black powder-coated finishes became a trusted choice among knife makers for the protective layer and bold look they add to the blade. This coating adds a protective layer that helps resist corrosion during regular outdoor use.

Camel Bone Handle: Comfort and Character

Camel bone handles carry their own history in traditional knife making, valued for natural strength and texture that varies from piece to piece. The camel bone handle offers a secure, natural grip, while the black powder-coated blade adds a bold, modern look.

Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern

This Wilderness Field Blade features a 5.5-inch Damascus steel blade with a drop point profile and black powder-coated finish. Damascus steel is forged by folding layers of steel together repeatedly, creating a distinct wave pattern that makes each blade one of a kind.

Fixed Blade Construction, Ready for Field Use

As a Trail Tracking Knife, it includes a handmade leather sheath for safe storage and easy carry. Fixed blade construction runs through the entire 4.5-inch handle for solid balance during field tasks.
