Damascus Tracker Knife
Survival Capability, Collector Looks
Most tracker knives are built purely as tools. These are built to turn heads while they work. Our Damascus tracker knives bring flowing pattern-welded steel to one of the most capable blade designs ever made — a single knife that chops, carves, and saws, wrapped in a one-of-a-kind layered finish.
Forged in Stainless Damascus
Each blade is forged from VG10 and 15N20 stainless Damascus, folded and acid-etched so no two patterns are ever alike. The stainless build shrugs off the damp, sap, and blood of real field work better than plain carbon steel, while the layered construction keeps a keen, controlled edge.
- Steel: VG10 / 15N20 stainless Damascus
- Hardness: 59–61 HRC
- Design: Long curved edge, flat chopping belly, sawback spine
- Build: Full tang with secure, comfortable handles
- Sheath: Hand-stitched leather, included
One Blade, Every Job
The forward belly chops and batons firewood, the main edge carves and prepares, and the spine notches and saws for shelters and traps. It is a true do-everything companion for bushcraft, hunting camps, and extended trips into the backcountry.
A Piece Worth Owning
A Damascus tracker is equally at home splitting kindling at camp or resting in a display — a working knife with genuine collector appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions – Damascus Tracker Knives
What is a Damascus tracker knife?
It is a multi-purpose survival and bushcraft blade in the tracker style — long curved edge, flat chopping section, and often a sawback spine — forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel for a striking layered look on a hard-working knife.
What type of Damascus steel do you use for tracker knives?
Our Damascus trackers are forged from VG10 and 15N20 stainless Damascus, layered and acid-etched so every blade carries a one-of-a-kind flowing pattern while keeping a keen, durable edge.
Is Damascus steel strong enough for a survival tracker knife?
Yes. Pattern-welded Damascus is forged from multiple steel layers and, when properly heat-treated, is every bit as tough as a single-steel blade — fully capable of chopping, batoning, and carving in the field.
Will a Damascus tracker blade rust?
Because we use stainless Damascus, these blades resist corrosion well. An occasional light coat of oil preserves both the edge and the contrast of the pattern over time.
What is a Damascus tracker knife used for?
Chopping and batoning at the forward belly, carving and detail work along the main edge, and notching or sawing with the spine — a single blade that handles the jobs of several camp tools.
How hard are your Damascus tracker blades on the HRC scale?
They are heat-treated to 59–61 HRC, balancing a long-lasting keen edge with the toughness a heavy-use tracker design needs.
Are these Damascus tracker knives full tang and handmade?
Yes. Each one is hand-forged in our Canadian workshop and built full tang, with the steel running unbroken from tip to pommel for maximum strength.
Is a Damascus tracker knife legal to own in Canada and the USA?
In Canada a fixed-blade Damascus tracker is legal to own and carry as a tool for lawful outdoor use, since the law looks at intent rather than blade length. In most US states ownership is legal, while carry rules vary by state and city, so check your local regulations.
How do I care for the Damascus pattern on a tracker knife?
Keep the blade clean and dry, apply a light coat of oil now and then, and avoid abrasive cleaners that dull the etched contrast. Our Damascus knife care guide explains it fully.
Do you ship Damascus tracker knives to the USA and Canada?
Yes. We forge every knife by hand in Canada with free shipping across Canada, plus affordable shipping rates to the USA and other countries.
