Description

Forged Damascus. Genuine Antler Grip. Built for the Buckaroo Life.

The Buckaroo Knife is a working blade in the tradition of the Great Basin vaqueros  riders who took pride in fine gear that could still put in a hard day. Forged from 15N20/1095 Damascus and hardened to 59–61 RC, it carries the flowing layered pattern only real Damascus gives you, fitted to a natural antler horn handle. At 8" overall with a 4" drop-point blade, it's the right size for ranch work, hunting, or a serious blade in your collection  and no two antler grips are ever the same.

Where Craftsmanship Meets the Ranch

15N20/1095 is a proven Damascus pairing the nickel-bearing 15N20 and high-carbon 1095 forge-weld into bright, high-contrast layers that etch out into that unmistakable flowing pattern. Hardened to 59–61 RC, the 4" drop point holds a keen edge through real use: rope, hide, feed, and field dressing.

The antler horn handle traces straight back to old cowboy knives. Every rack is different, so the grain, color, and crown of your grip are yours alone a natural material that warms in the hand and only looks better with the years.

What Sets This Knife Apart

  • Hand-forged 15N20/1095 Damascus (high-contrast layers)
  • 59–61 RC hardness (sharp edge, won't chip)
  • Genuine antler horn handle no two alike
  • Traditional buckaroo drop-point profile
  • Handmade pancake leather sheath included
  • Optional custom engraving on the blade

Built Different, From Steel to Sheath

15N20/1095 Damascus

Two proven steels forge-welded into bright, layered Damascus. The etched pattern flows the length of the blade and repeats on no other knife.

🦌

Genuine Antler Horn

A natural crown-and-grain grip that no mold can copy. Warm in the hand, tough in the field, and one of a kind every time.

⚙️

59–61 RC Hardness

Hard enough to hold a razor edge through heavy use, tough enough to take impact without chipping. The sweet spot for a working blade.

Care Guide | Keeping Damascus & Antler Right

  1. Wipe the blade dry after every use. Damascus is high-carbon, not stainless moisture left on the steel is the main cause of spotting.
  2. Keep a light coat of oil on it. A thin film of mineral or food-safe blade oil protects the steel and keeps the etched pattern crisp between uses.
  3. Clean by hand never the dishwasher. Heat and detergent are hard on carbon Damascus and can dry out the antler.
  4. Care for the antler. A rare rub of oil or beeswax keeps natural antler from drying and checking over the years.
  5. Touch up the edge, don't grind it. A fine stone or ceramic rod restores the edge in a few passes without removing much steel or dulling the pattern.
  6. A little patina is normal. Carbon steel darkens with use — cosmetic and even protective. Heavy spotting wipes back with oil and a non-scratch pad.
  7. Store dry, out of the sheath long-term. Leather holds moisture; for long storage keep the knife out of the sheath in a dry place.
