New year, new drop point design. The blade is 1084 high carbon steel, a material known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. The high carbon content ensures that the blade maintains a sharp edge even after extended use. Its composition makes it ideal for various outdoor tasks, including skinning, field dressing, and general utility.

The blade features a stonewash finish, which not only provides a rugged appearance but also helps conceal minor scratches and wear. The stonewash finish also enhances the blade’s resistance to corrosion.

Moving on to the handle, it is meticulously crafted of spalted hickory from Pensacola. Spalting occurs when fungi partially decay the wood, creating unique patterns and colors. The stabilized hickory handle ensures stability, even in varying environmental conditions. Its ergonomic design allows for a comfortable grip, minimizing hand fatigue during prolonged use.

To secure the handle scales, the knife employs nickel-silver pins. These pins not only add structural integrity but also contribute to the knife’s aesthetic appeal. Nickel-silver is corrosion-resistant and complements the natural beauty of the spalted hickory.

Overall, this hunting knife strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetics. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or an outdoor enthusiast, this well-crafted tool will serve you reliably in the field.
