10" Damascus Steel Hunting Knife – Full Tang Fixed Blade with Rosewood Handle

Commanding outdoor geometry meets the fluid beauty of pattern-welded steel. The NDY Artisan Series 10" Damascus Steel Field Slicer is a premium fixed-blade tool engineered for backcountry guides, wilderness outfitters, and collectors of fine custom cutlery. The hand-forged Damascus steel blade features a sweeping drop-point profile with a clean, high-contrast ripple pattern and an integrated finger choil notch for precision choking up. The heavy-duty full-tang handle is fitted with contoured natural rosewood scales, highlighting a rich, rippled grain structure that provides organic warmth and an ergonomic palm swell. Complete with a rear lanyard hole, this high-balance utility tool delivers exceptional leverage for demanding field processing and campsite utility work.

💥 Why This Damascus Rosewood Knife Stands Out

• Fluid Slicing Profile & Choil Control: The broad blade flows into a sweeping belly engineered to distribute cutting pressure uniformly. The specialized sharpening choil notch at the base allows you to comfortably choke up on the grip for detailed carving and precision paring tasks.

• Ergonomic Finger-Groove Rosewood Grip: The handle is crafted from select natural rosewood scales, highly regarded for its dense shock absorption and striking, wavy grain details. The scales are meticulously sculpted with deep finger indexing scallops, providing an incredibly secure, fatigue-reducing hand hold.

• Heavy-Duty Full-Tang Backbone: Built from a single continuous piece of forged Damascus steel extending from the tip right through to the pommel, this knife offers unparalleled structural integrity. It is balanced forward of the index finger, providing natural downward momentum during heavy slicing passes.

📖 Care & Maintenance Guide

• Clean & Dry: Hand-wash your knife immediately after use with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft sponge. Dry both the steel and wood surfaces thoroughly with a towel (never leave it submerged or place it in a dishwasher).

• Protect the Damascus Layers: Damascus steel is forged from high-carbon alloys; to maintain its crisp visual contrast and prevent environmental oxidation, apply a thin pass of food-grade mineral oil or quality blade wax across the blade face before long-term storage.

• Nourish the Natural Wood: Keep the premium rosewood scales looking deep and vibrant by occasionally wiping the handle down with a small drop of mineral oil or wood-safe conditioner. This prevents the grain from drying or cracking due to shifting atmospheric moisture.
