Damascus Steel Tracker Knife 7" Red & Black Wood Handle

Damascus Steel Tracker Knife – Custom Hand-Forged Skinner with Red & Black Wood Handle and Mosaic Pin

Damascus Steel Tracker Knife 

Field dressing and camp tasks often mean switching between two or three separate blades: one for skinning, one for chopping, one for detail work. This Damascus steel tracker knife solves that with a custom hand-forged design that combines skinner and tracker functions in one blade, finished with an ergonomic red and black wood handle and a decorative mosaic pin.

What Makes This Damascus Steel Tracker Knife Different

A tracker knife divides the blade into functional sections instead of one continuous edge: a forward section for chopping, a curved belly for skinning, and often a notched area near the handle for carving and fine work. This Damascus steel tracker knife brings that multi-purpose design to a pattern-welded blade, so you get the combined function of a skinner and a light camp knife without carrying two separate tools.

 Hand-Forged Damascus Construction

This Damascus steel tracker knife is built from folded, pattern-welded steel, typically running 200 or more layers and hardened in the 55–58 HRC range, in line with our standard hand-forged Damascus process. That layering does more than create the visible pattern — it gives the blade a hard, sharp edge paired with a tough spine that resists chipping under repeated field use.

Red and Black Wood Handle With Mosaic Pin Detail

The ergonomic red and black wood handle on this Damascus steel tracker knife is shaped for a secure grip through repeated skinning and camp tasks, while the decorative mosaic pin adds a handcrafted, collectible touch. It's a distinct handle option compared to the stag, resin, and pakka wood handles used across our Damascus skinner knife collection, giving this piece its own bold, standout look.

Beyond dedicated hunting trips, this Damascus steel tracker knife is sized and balanced for everyday carry, making it a practical survival blade for anyone who wants one dependable tool on hand for skinning, light chopping, and general outdoor tasks.
