Crafted from a blend of 1095 and 15N20 steels, the blade undergoes repeated heating, folding, and acid etching to reveal a striking twist Damascus pattern. The swirling lines evoke a sense of motion and energy, polished to a high shine with contrasting shades from deep black to bright silver. The gut hook allows safe and controlled field dressing of game such as deer or elk, making this knife an essential tool for hunters and campers. Tempered to 58-60 HRC, the blade offers excellent rigidity and sharpness, ideal for skinning and other precise outdoor tasks. The hard wood handle provides a comfortable grip, while the brass guard adds balance and durability. Included is a premium, thick leather sheath, hand-tooled and sewn with reinforced stitching to endure rugged use. Proper care involves sharpening at a 20-degree angle with a diamond wet stone, cleaning with mild soap and water, thorough drying, and applying gun oil to prevent rust. Avoid long-term blade storage inside the leather sheath to maintain blade integrity. Each knife is 100% handmade and unique, showcasing handcrafted characteristics that make it stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45299245875389,"sku":null,"price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/6822\/9565\/files\/8.0_in_Forged_Skinner_Knife_w_Gut_Hook_Twist_Damascus_Hard_Wood_Brass_Guard_Camping_Knife.jpg?v=1754897852","url":"https:\/\/heritageforge.us\/products\/8-0-in-forged-skinner-knife-w-gut-hook-twist-damascus-hard-wood-brass-guard-camping-knife","provider":"Heritage Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
