About this Custom Little Bear:
This custom Little Bear is small in size but big in ability and beauty. The knife features a fully hand contoured handle made from a stunning piece of stabilized and brown dyed box elder burl. There is a dark red g10 liner that adds a slight accent to the handle. The blade is made from our signature ribbon twist high-carbon damascus. Our damascus is made in our factory, here in Idaho, made up of 1080 and 15N20. The leather sheath is made from 8 oz, saddle skirting that has a stunning brown dyed coloring to make that box elder perfectly. The leather we used comes from one of the oldest tanneries in the USA, Wickett & Craig. The sheath has a hand-tooled edge pattern that wraps around the entire sheath. The sheath has been hand wet-formed to provide a nice tight fit for this one of a kind knife. Each knife is hand forged, ground and made by our team of skilled artisans.

*Just like all things, proper care should be given to the knife blade. We recommend cleaning with warm water and completely drying after use. We recommend applying WD40 or some type of gun oil to the blade immediately after drying to help deter spotting/rusting. Always clean and oil your knife before extended storage. Never store your knife in the leather sheath for extended time periods. The high-carbon nature of this damascus steel is prone to rusting and discoloration if not properly cared for.
*Logo and other markings will be placed on the blade after purchase is made.
