Why the Drop Point Profile Still Matters
Drop point blades give users a strong, controlled tip alongside a reliable cutting edge, making them versatile for both detail work and general field tasks.
Wood Handle with Brass Bolster: Comfort and Character
The wood handle offers a warm, secure grip, while the brass bolster adds both strength and visual detail. The brass bolster reinforces the point where the blade meets the handle, adding durability where knives typically wear down first.
Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern
Damascus steel adds real forging tradition to this design. Damascus steel is forged by folding layers of steel together repeatedly, creating a distinct wave pattern that makes each blade one of a kind.
Full Tang Construction, Ready for Field Use
As a Wilderness Survival Tool, full tang construction runs through the entire handle for solid balance. Browse the full Handmade Bushcraft Knives Collection for more field-ready blades built the same handcrafted way.
