Purple Heart Damascus Drop Point – Crossdraw Carry

“Built to Carry Easy and Work Hard”

A good field knife should feel dependable the moment you pick it up — balanced in the hand, solid through the grip, and ready for real use. This one was built with exactly that purpose in mind.

The 5-inch drop point blade is forged from Damascus steel, carrying the flowing layered patterns that make every blade unique while still delivering the strength and cutting performance expected from a true working knife. The profile keeps the blade versatile and controlled, suited for everything from camp tasks to field use.

At the front, a polished nickel silver bolster adds both durability and refinement, creating a clean transition from blade to handle. The handle itself is crafted from Purple Heart wood, known for its rich color and natural depth. Paired with a deep green accent liner, the contrast brings warmth and character without overpowering the piece.

A decorative mosaic pin secures the scales, while hand-filed detail and crosshatch work along the spine provide both texture and added grip control. These are the small details that separate a handmade knife from something mass produced — subtle touches that you notice more every time the knife is used.

The custom leather sheath was designed for practical carry, riding horizontally across the belt or attaching securely to a backpack strap for quick access without restricting movement.

This is a knife built with purpose — made to be carried, used, and trusted for years to come.
