Damascus Hunter with Infused Burlwood Handle

Some knives draw attention through size. Others earn it through detail.

This handcrafted Damascus hunter combines traditional materials, careful handwork, and practical design into a knife that feels equally at home in the field or displayed as part of a collection.

The blade is forged from Damascus steel, revealing the flowing layered patterns that make each piece unique. From the spine to the cutting edge, the steel displays the character and movement that only true Damascus can provide. The hunter-style profile offers a versatile shape well suited for everyday use while maintaining the clean, timeless lines that define a classic fixed blade.

A hidden tang construction keeps the profile sleek and balanced while allowing the natural beauty of the handle materials to take center stage. The handle is crafted from burlwood infused with green epoxy, creating a striking blend of organic grain and vibrant color. The infusion highlights the natural voids and figure within the burl, producing patterns that can never be duplicated.

A polished nickel silver bolster provides a smooth transition from blade to handle while adding both durability and elegance to the piece. Along the spine, detailed hand filework showcases the extra time and craftsmanship invested in the build. Visible from above and appreciated in hand, the filework transforms a functional surface into a distinctive design element.

The addition of a lanyard hole provides practical carry options while complementing the knife's overall design.

Balanced, functional, and built one piece at a time, this knife reflects the traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail that define every blade leaving the forge.

Maker's Note:

One of the things I enjoy most about stabilized and infused burlwood is that the wood helps finish the design itself. Every block reveals something different, and no two handles ever tell quite the same story.
