Buffalo Horn Caping Knife with Stacked Leather Grip and Braid Tooled Leather Sheath

Caping work around the eyes, ears, and other detail areas calls for a small, precise blade rather than a full-size hunting knife. This caping knife pairs a compact hand-finished edge with a stacked leather and hardwood grip built specifically for close, controlled work.

Full Product Description

The blade is hand finished to a compact 3-inch length, sized specifically for detail work like caping around the head and other close-quarters tasks where a larger blade gets in the way. A polished steel bolster and brass spacer sit between the blade and handle.

The handle combines stacked leather and hardwood, capped with a distinctive hooked buffalo horn pommel that adds both grip and a striking visual detail. This layered handle construction gives the knife a secure, textured feel despite its small size.

A braid-tooled leather sheath is included, matching the detailed craftsmanship found throughout the rest of the knife. For a similarly compact, detail-focused blade, see our Sawtooth Spine Hunting Knife.
