About this Custom Edition High Country:

This custom edition, one of a kind, High Country features a fully hand contoured elk horn handle. The elk horn which is used on this knife was harvested near the Jackson Hole, Wyoming elk refuge. The blade features our "Spider Twist", high carbon damascus pattern. All of our damascus steel is forged in house using 1080 AND 15N20 (2% Nickel). The leather sheath is made from 8 oz, saddle skirting, that comes from Wickett & Craig USA. The sheath has a hand-tooled basket stamp 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. 

REFINED BY EXPERIENCE. PREFERRED BY PROFESSIONALS.
With years of professional guiding and big game hunting under our belts, we decided to craft the perfect professional hunting guide’s knife. Welcome to the High Country.

***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.
