About Damascus Hunting Knives

Which blade length suits deer, elk or hogs?

A drop point blade between 3 and 5 inches handles skinning and field dressing on deer. Elk and hogs often call for 6 to 8 inches, and the camp-style blades in this collection run up to 13 inches for heavier splitting and batoning. See the skinning and gut hook knives for the shorter end of that range.

Stag, bone or hardwood handle?

Handles across the collection include stag, bone, horn, walnut, rosewood and hardwood, with camel bone and resin on a few patterns. Most blades run full tang from bolster to butt; browse the full tang knives for that build, or the Damascus Bowie knives for a longer fixed blade, or our carbon and satin steel knives for the same patterns at a lower price. Read the knife care guide before the first use.

Common questions

Is Damascus steel good for a hunting knife?

Yes. Pattern-welded Damascus made from 1095 and 15N20 steel holds a fine edge and touches up quickly in the field. It needs a wipe of oil after wet use to keep it from rusting, the same care any high-carbon blade needs.

How much should a real Damascus hunting knife cost?

In this collection, Damascus hunting knives run from $99 to $319, depending on blade length and handle material. Pattern-welding, forging and finishing take real shop time, which is why a hand-forged Damascus blade costs more than a plain steel one.

Should a hunting knife have a gut hook?

Only if you want one blade to open the hide as well. A gut hook on the spine unzips the belly hide without cutting into the gut, but it takes up spine you might use for other work. Our skinning and gut hook knives include both styles.

What comes with a Crownridge hunting knife?

Every fixed blade in this collection ships with a char leather belt sheath, stitched with a pale welt and straw-gold thread and closed with a brass stud, included at no extra cost. Folding patterns come with a matching belt slip instead.

What is the return window on a Damascus hunting knife?

Returns are open for 30 days from delivery on a knife without engraving, and every knife carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Shipping within the US is free, and the full terms are on the warranty page.
