"Tiger Run" Damascus Hunting Knife | Wenge & Tigerwood Segmented Handle | Two-Tone Hand-Tooled Leather Sheath
"Tiger Run" Damascus Hunting Knife is a hand-forged field tool built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and collectors who demand both performance and distinctive craftsmanship. The knife pairs a multi-pattern Damascus blade with a boldly figured segmented hardwood handle — making every piece one of a kind.
Blade — Damascus Steel, Drop-Point Profile The blade is hand-forged from a combination of 1095 high-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel alloy steel, folded and hammer-welded to produce a dual-pattern Damascus surface — flowing ladder lines across the spine transition into bold circular bull's-eye rings along the flat, creating a topographic, layered appearance across 300+ distinct layers. Oil-quenched and tempered to 57–60 HRC, the blade holds a keen, re-sharpenable working edge through extended field use. The drop-point profile delivers a broad, controlled belly ideal for field dressing and skinning large game, with a strong tip geometry suited to precise work in the field.
Handle — Alternating Wenge & Tigerwood Segments The grip is constructed from alternating diagonal bands of two premium hardwoods: dense wenge with its deep espresso tone and fine parallel grain, and tigerwood — a tropical hardwood characterized by its bold amber-orange base and dramatic dark flame striping. The two woods are stacked and shaped into an ergonomic handle profile, secured throughout with solid brass pins. A hand-set red floral mosaic medallion inlay is set near the bolster, adding a refined artisan detail consistent across the series.
Sheath — Two-Tone Hand-Tooled Leather The included belt sheath is crafted from genuine leather in a two-tone finish — a warm saddle tan body with a deep espresso accent band along the spine, tooled with a repeating fan-and-floral stamped border. Amber saddle thread stitching runs along both edges, with a single brass snap closure and a wide reinforced belt loop for secure carry in the field.
