Why 352 Layers of Damascus Still Matters
Built from approximately 352 layers of Damascus steel, this blade reflects real forging depth beyond a simple pattern applied for looks alone. Each knife features one of several traditional Damascus patterns, twist, raindrop, or ladder, depending on the specific piece, giving every knife its own distinct visual character.
Bone Handle: Comfort and Character
The premium bone handle is available in white, green, or brownish tones, giving you a choice that suits your personal style. As a Bushcraft Knife, the ergonomic grip with finger grooves offers secure control during extended use, and solid brass pins secure the bone handle scales, adding both durability and visual contrast.
Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern
This Fixed Blade Knife is forged from Damascus steel built up through approximately 352 layers, giving it both strength and a distinct wave pattern. Because each piece may carry a different traditional pattern, no two Canyon Tracker knives ever look exactly alike.
