Damascus Field Knife 9” Blade Handmade Black Epoxy Resin Handle with Sheath

Tracker knives earned their trusted reputation from hunters and outdoorsmen who needed one reliable blade for varied field tasks, from skinning to general camp work. The Saddle Camp Tracker Knife continues that same practical tradition as every Tracker Knife we forge today. Black epoxy resin handles became a trusted choice among outdoor knife makers for their durability and resistance to moisture and wear.

Damascus steel adds real forging tradition to this design, with the natural flow pattern giving each blade its own distinct wave once forged and etched.

Introduction

If you want a substantial blade for real outdoor work, the Saddle Camp Tracker Knife delivers genuine field capability. At 14 inches overall, with a 9-inch blade and 5-inch handle, it has real presence and cutting power for camp and field tasks. As a Camp Tracker Blade, the full tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the handle, giving it lasting strength through repeated use.

The black epoxy resin handle offers a secure, weather-resistant grip that holds up well to demanding outdoor conditions. As a Survival Tracking Knife, it includes a genuine leather sheath for safe storage and easy carry.

Uses and Safety

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.
