Damascus Steel Tracker Knife with 145 mm Blade, Buffalo Horn Handle and Leather Sheath
A robust, hand-forged tracker knife featuring a distinctive 'Fire Blade' pattern. The blade is constructed from 512 layers of 4340 stainless and 1075 high-carbon steel, forge-welded to create a tough, resilient edge hardened to 55-58 HRC.
The full-tang construction provides excellent balance and strength, complemented by a handle made from genuine buffalo horn with a brass lanyard pipe. The knife has an approximate total length of 259 mm (10.2 inches) and is supplied with a durable leather sheath for protection.
Suitable for a range of demanding cutting applications in the workshop, for field craft, or for general utility tasks.

Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
