A Hunting Blade Built for the Field, Finished for the Collection

The SK-040 brings together the relentless edge retention of D2 tool steel and the unmistakable character of a hand-forged Damascus guard. Whether you are field dressing game or adding to a curated collection, this knife delivers where it counts.

⬡

D2 Steel Blade

Hardened to 59-61 RC, this D2 blade holds its edge through repeated use. The high carbon content and chromium carbides deliver wear resistance that keeps you working longer between sharpenings.

✦

Damascus Steel Guard

The hand-forged Damascus guard adds a layer of artistry that sets this knife apart. Each guard carries its own unique pattern, making every SK-040 subtly one of a kind.

◈

Lace wood Handle

Lace wood brings a distinctive flecked grain and warm, natural feel to the grip. It offers secure handling in dry or wet conditions and ages with character over years of use.

◇

Italian Leather Sheath

Each knife ships with a handmade Italian leather sheath. Built to protect the blade and carry comfortably on your belt, it develops a rich patina that only improves with time.

Make It Yours with Custom Engraving

Add initials, a significant date, or a short personal message. Whether you are marking a milestone hunt or giving a gift that will be remembered, custom engraving turns the SK-040 into something truly personal. Select the engraving option when you order.

1Is a semi-tang strong enough for hunting?+
For field dressing, skinning, and general hunting tasks, a semi-tang provides ample strength while keeping the knife lighter and better balanced in hand. Full tang construction is only necessary for heavy chopping or batoning, which fall outside the intended use of a hunting knife. The SK-040 is built for precision cutting, not prying or splitting logs.
2How do I care for the D2 steel blade?+
D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel, needs detailed care routine, meaning it offers strong corrosion resistance but is not fully rust-proof. After each use, wipe the blade clean and dry. A light coat of mineral oil on the blade surface will prevent any oxidation. D2 holds its edge exceptionally well, so you will sharpen less often than with softer steels. When sharpening is needed, use diamond or ceramic stones for best results.
3Can I get this knife engraved?+
Yes, custom engraving is available on the SK-040. You can add initials, a date, or a short message. Engraving makes the knife an excellent gift for hunters, outdoorsmen, or collectors. Simply select the engraving option at checkout and provide your text.
4How should I maintain the leather sheath?+
The handmade Italian leather sheath will develop a rich, natural patina over time. To keep it in top condition, store it in a dry environment and treat it occasionally with a quality leather conditioner. Avoid storing the knife inside the sheath for extended periods in humid conditions, as trapped moisture can affect both the leather and the blade.
