The Dark Mountain Custom:

Here's a very custom version of one of our most popular custom knife designs. The spider twist high-carbon damascus blade is made of powdered 1080 and 15N20 which is forged here in our factory in Idaho. We also gave this our Vanta etch to give a stunning amount of contrast. No two pieces of damascus are ever the same, making each knife like a finger print. The beautiful piece of amboinya burl handle paired with the nickel silver bolster with black G10 make this knife one for the ages. Each knife is hand forged, ground and made by our team of skilled artisans.

The leather sheath is made from 8 oz, saddle skirting that has been brown dyed with our custom "western" style sheath. The leather we used comes from one of the oldest tanneries in the USA, Wickett & Craig. The sheath has been hand wet-formed to provide a nice tight fit for this one of a kind knife.

***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.
