240-Layer Damascus Blade

The 4-inch blade is forged from 240 layers of 5160 and 4340 carbon steel, creating the distinctive layered pattern associated with Damascus steel.

Its 5/32-inch thickness and compact overall dimensions provide a substantial fixed-blade profile without the size of a larger hunting or Bowie knife.

Natural Cattle Bone Handle

The Bone Needlecrest™ features a natural cattle bone handle with Micarta fiber liner.

A Damascus steel guard complements the patterned blade and provides an attractive contrast against the lighter natural bone.

Because cattle bone is a natural material, individual handles can vary in coloration and surface character. Damascus patterning can also differ slightly from blade to blade.

Cowhide Leather Sheath

A cowhide leather sheath is included with the knife.

The integrated vertical belt loop provides a simple carry arrangement while keeping the blade covered during transport and storage.

Damascus Steel Care

The 5160/4340 Damascus blade is made from carbon steels and requires regular maintenance.

Keep the blade clean and completely dry after use. Apply a light coating of suitable blade oil periodically to help protect the steel against moisture and surface corrosion.

Never store the knife wet or damp inside its leather sheath.
