Canister Damascus Boot Knife

Canister Damascus Boot Knife
$500.00

A one of a kind custom fixed blade, hand forged from canister Damascus, and built for real daily carry—lightweight and discreet.

I designed this knife to be a "Boot Knife", worn on the inside of a Western style boot, but it could also be worn on your hip on a belt. The custom leather sheath is tooled and dyed on the front to match the Damascus "snake" pattern on the blade and has deerskin liners inside the sheath to protect the blade.

The blade is crafted from tough 1084 steel and pure nickel powder for excellent edge retention and durability, then acid etched in Ferric Chloride and hand polished to 1500 Grit to reveal the Damascus pattern.

The handle combines Bird's Eye Maple with a single nickel silver pin, black and red G10 and nickel silver spacers, and a textured guard made from 52100 steel.

The knife and sheath were handmade by me in my shop in Katy, TX.
