Antler Ridge hunting Knife Handcrafted D2 Steel Fixed Blade Set with Ram Horn Handles

Antler handles carry their own history in traditional hunting knife making, valued for natural strength and texture that varies from piece to piece. The Antler Ridge Hunting Knife set continues that tradition, though this piece uses ram horn rather than antler for its natural handle material. Having two matching knives in one set gives hunters a practical backup blade for varied field tasks.

D2 steel adds real durability to this design, known among knife makers for holding an edge well through repeated cutting and field use.

Introduction

The Antler Ridge Hunting Knife set brings together two matching blades, each measuring 9 inches overall. As a Hunting Knife, both pieces feature genuine ram horn handles, giving the set natural character alongside reliable field function. As an Outdoor Hunting Knife pair, it works well for bushcraft, camping, and general outdoor utility tasks.

Antler Ridge Hunting Knife Blade

This Fixed Blade Knife set features two D2 steel blades, a material valued among knife makers for its edge retention through repeated use. As Handcrafted Hunting Knife stock, both knives feature ram horn handles offering a secure, natural grip. Fixed blade construction across both pieces ensures consistent balance and strength for regular field use.

Uses and Safety

The Antler Ridge Hunting Knife set works well for bushcraft, camping, and general outdoor utility tasks. Clean and dry each blade after use to prevent rust from forming on the D2 steel. Store the knives safely when not in use, and keep them 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.
