Description
This traditional hunter blade is forged from 1085 high carbon steel, prized among bladesmiths for its reliable balance of hardness and toughness. The steel is heated in the forge and hammered into shape by hand, then carefully tempered to refine its grain structure. This process yields a blade capable of holding a sharp edge while maintaining resilience against chipping or breaking. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts, a workshop dedicated to preserving age-old forging methods, this knife embodies the straightforward design and rugged durability that hunters have depended on for generations.

Fun fact: Classic hunting knives like this one were often carried not only as essential tools for skinning and preparing game but also as badges of independence and survival skill among woodsmen and frontiersmen.
