FAQ’s

What is San Mai steel, and how is it different from Damascus?

San Mai layers a hard steel core between two softer outer layers. Unlike Damascus, it doesn't create a repeating pattern, just a visible line between layers.

Why does this blade have both a clip point and a tracker notch?

The clip point adds a precise tip, and the notch adds bushcraft function. Combining both gives this blade a wider range of practical uses.

Does the dark spine section affect how the blade cuts?

No, that dark area is largely decorative, resulting from the San Mai etching process. The cutting edge itself is ground and sharpened separately.

What are the two wood tones on the handle?

The handle uses a lighter wood section paired with a darker wood section. Brass pins run through both, tying the design together.

How do I care for this San Mai and wood-handled knife?

A quick dry-off after this blade sees use helps prevent rust. A light coat of oil keeps the wood handle in good shape.
