Specifications

Why This Curved Skinner Shape Still Matters

This practical design became a standard among hunters who value reliability over flashy features. That same time-tested shape defines every Bear Paw Hunting Knife we forge today, giving hunters a blade built for real field work, not just looks.

Stag Handle: Comfort and Character

The stag handle offers a natural, rugged grip, while the engraved paw print adds a distinctive detail you won't find on standard knives. Animal paw engravings on hunting blades reflect a tradition of personalizing field knives with meaning tied to the outdoors.

Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern

This Artisan Field Blade is hand forged from genuine Damascus steel, giving it both strength and a distinct wave pattern unique to each blade. The paw print engraving is added by hand directly onto the blade, so the detail holds up rather than fading like a stamped design.
