The Powder Mountain Custom:
Here's a very custom version of one of our most popular custom knife designs. The powder metal high-carbon damascus blade is made of powdered 1080 and 15N20 which is forged here in our factory in Idaho. No two pieces of damascus are ever the same, making each knife like a finger print. The stunning ironwood burl handle paired with the brass bolster with yellow 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 which features a stingray inlay for an extra custom accent point. 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.
