Shadow Handmade Damascus Fixed Blade Knife, 8.0” Overall, 4.0” Blade, Bull Horn & Exotic Rosewood Handle, Full Tang, Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving

Specifications:

Material: Hand-forged Damascus steel blade with bull horn and exotic rosewood handle.

• Overall length is 8.0" inch.
• Blade length is 4.0" inch.
• Blade thickness is 2.0 mm.
• Construction: Full tang fixed blade.
• Handle material: Bull horn & exotic rosewood.
• Hardness: HRC 58–60.
• Sheath: Hand-stitched genuine leather sheath included.

Damascus Blade Detail:

The Shadow features a hand-forged Damascus steel blade crafted through repeated layering, welding, hammering, and finishing. This process creates the distinctive flowing pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.

Because the pattern develops naturally during forging and finishing, no two blades are exactly alike. Each Shadow carries its own unique visual character, much like a fingerprint.

The blade is heat treated to approximately HRC 58–60 hardness, providing a dependable balance of sharpness, strength, durability, and edge retention for everyday and outdoor use.

Scales & Handle Detail:

The handle combines natural bull horn with exotic rosewood, creating a distinctive blend of natural texture, grain, and traditional craftsmanship.

Because both horn and wood are natural materials, variations in color, grain, texture, and pattern make every handle individually unique.

The handle is carefully shaped, polished, and finished to provide a comfortable and secure grip while complementing the compact full-tang fixed-blade construction.
