Why the Hammered Drop Point Still Matters
Forged hammered textures reflect real hand-forging work, giving the steel a distinctive surface beyond a smooth, machine-polished finish.

Blue Pakka Wood Handle: Comfort and Character
Blue pakka wood handles became a trusted choice among knife makers, treated to resist moisture and cracking better than raw, untreated wood. The blue pakka wood handle offers a secure, weather-resistant grip with a distinctive color that stands out from typical natural wood tones.
Carbon Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Finish
This Rugged Outdoor Hunting Tool features a 4-inch carbon steel blade with a hammered drop point profile and forged hammered texture finish, giving it a raw, handmade look rather than a smooth, machine-finished surface.
Full Tang Construction, and Ready for Everyday Carry
As a Game Processing Blade, the full tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the handle. Full tang construction runs through the entire 5-inch handle for solid balance during extended use.
