Meet our 10.5-inch Custom Hand-Forged Steel Tracker Knife. This is the ultimate survival tool, built from the ground up to be powerful, reliable, and ready for any challenge you face.
With its classic rosewood handle and a rugged, hand-forged blade, this knife is a masterpiece of functional art. It’s designed for the true outdoorsman, the weekend camper, and the serious survivalist. It feels balanced, strong, and prepared for anything. This is more than just a knife; it’s a trusted partner for your adventures.
The Power of Hand-Forged High Carbon Steel
While the swirling patterns of a Damascus tracker knife are beautiful, this blade is all about raw, focused power. It’s forged by hand from a single, solid piece of high-carbon steel. This type of steel is famous in the knife world for being incredibly tough and for holding a razor-sharp edge for a very long time.
Think of it as the workhorse of steels. It’s a no-nonsense material that blacksmiths choose when they need to create a tool that can take a beating and keep on cutting. This is the kind of dependable steel that has been trusted by experts in the wild for generations.
Features That Make It a Must-Have
Every part of this knife, from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle, is designed with purpose and performance in mind.
A Blade Built for Every Task
The blade is the heart of this survival tool. Its "tracker" shape is a genius design that makes it a true multi-tool.
- The Chopper: The heavy front part of the blade acts like a small hatchet, making it great for chopping firewood or clearing a path.
- The Slicer: The curved middle section, or "belly," is perfect for long, smooth slices, whether you're preparing food or skinning game.
- The Carver: The sharp, pointed tip gives you the control you need for detailed carving or making precise cuts.
A Handle That Feels Just Right
The handle is expertly carved from beautiful, luxurious rosewood. Rosewood is not only stunning to look at with its rich, dark color, but it’s also a dense hardwood that provides a comfortable and secure grip. The handle is ergonomically shaped to fit your hand, giving you excellent control and precision.

Caring for Your High Carbon Steel Knife
High-carbon steel is an amazing material, but it needs a little bit of love to stay in perfect shape. Because it’s not stainless steel, it can rust if you don’t care for it properly. But don't worry, it’s easy!
- Clean and Dry Immediately: After you use your knife, wipe it clean. If it’s very dirty, you can wash it with soap and water, but you must dry it completely right away.
- Oil is Your Friend: To stop rust from forming, rub a thin layer of oil on the blade. Mineral oil or a food-safe knife oil works perfectly. This creates a protective shield against moisture.
- Embrace the Patina: With use, your blade will develop a dark gray coating called a patina. This is a good thing! It’s a natural form of oxidation that actually helps protect the steel from the bad kind of rust.
- Store It Safely: Your knife comes with a custom-fit leather sheath. Always store your knife in its sheath in a dry place to keep it safe, protected, and ready for your next adventure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between this and a Damascus tracker knife?
A: The main difference is the blade. This knife uses solid high-carbon steel, which is known for its pure toughness. A Damascus tracker knife is made from layers of different steels, giving it a unique pattern and a blend of different properties. Both are excellent, just with different styles!
Q: Is the rosewood handle slippery when wet?
A: Rosewood is a naturally oily wood, which gives it some water resistance. The handle is also shaped to provide a secure grip, but like any tool, it’s important to be careful when using it in wet conditions.
Q: Is this knife "full tang"?
A: Yes, high-quality forged knives like this are built with a full tang. This means the steel from the blade runs all the way through the handle as one solid piece, making it incredibly strong and well-balanced.
Q: Does it come sharp?
A: Absolutely. Your hand-forged tracker knife arrives sharpened and ready for action right out of the box. Like all great knives, it will need to be re-sharpened with use to maintain its peak performance.
