Handmade Damascus Straight Back Hunting Knife with Stag Handle Multi-Colored Pakka Wood Spacers

Straight back blades earned their trusted reputation among hunters for offering a strong, sturdy spine alongside a reliable cutting edge, useful for both detail work and heavier field tasks. The Prairie Stag Hunting Knife continues that same practical design as every Stag Horn Hunting Knife we forge today. Stag antler handles carry their own history in traditional hunting knife making, valued for natural strength and texture.

Combining stag antler with multi-colored pakka wood spacers became a way for custom makers to add both natural character and visual detail to a single handle.

Introduction

If you want a hunting knife with real natural character and reliable field capability, the Prairie Stag Hunting Knife delivers both. At 8.5 inches overall, with a 4-inch blade and 4.5-inch handle, it's sized for controlled work without feeling bulky in hand. As an Antler Handle Hunting Blade, the full tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the handle.

The stag antler handle offers a secure, natural grip, while the multi-colored pakka wood spacers add distinctive detail. As a Prairie Hunting Knife, the brass guard adds strength and a refined, finished look, and it includes a genuine leather sheath.

Prairie Stag Hunting Knife Blade

This Game Field Knife features a 4-inch Damascus steel blade with a straight back profile, giving it a sturdy spine alongside a reliable cutting edge. The brass guard reinforces the connection between blade and handle, adding durability where knives typically wear down first. Full tang construction runs through the entire 4.5-inch handle.

Uses and Safety

The Prairie Stag Hunting Knife works well as a Traditional Hunting Blade for hunting, camping, bushcraft, and general outdoor utility tasks. Clean and dry the blade after each use to prevent rust from forming on the Damascus pattern. Store it in the leather sheath when not in use, and keep it away from children.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Regular Cleaning
   Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly
   After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
3. Proper Storage
   Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
4. Avoid Impact
   While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
   Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
6. Routine Inspection
   Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
