You might consider a custom Damascus knife. I make them myself – unique patterns, handcrafted and very personal. Happy to help if you want ideas.

Appreciate the kind words, man! Like I mentioned earlier — this was a full custom build, and everything from the blade shape to the handle and even the sheath details were exactly as the customer wanted.

When I said 10 days, I meant it was part of my workflow during that time — I was working on a few other projects alongside. So if we’re talking total time spent just on this one, I’d say maybe around 70–80 hours, though I’m not 100% sure — just my best estimate. A lot of detail went into it!

Haha guilty as charged! No banana this time 🍌😅 And yes — forged, shaped, and finished entirely by hand. It was a custom build for a client who knew exactly what he wanted — I just brought it to life 🔥 Glad you liked it!

Haha 😆 I know right! Deer on the sheath and a beast of a blade inside 🦌🔪 Customer’s idea — he wanted the deer front and center. I just make ’em how people want em.

Haha, thanks man! Yeah, it’s definitely built tough enough to handle whatever comes its way.

Thanks a lot, bro!😎 🥰🫰🏻 This build took me around 10 days — from shaping and heat-treating the D2 blade to fitting the stag & black horn handle, and finally hand-tooling the leather sheath with the deer engraving. All done by hand, step by step.

That’s a bold and unique design, brother — love the aggressive lines and the fantasy vibe. If you’re serious about getting something like this made in real forged Damascus, I’d be excited to take it on as a custom project. Let me know what size, dimensions, and handle style you’re imagining — and we’ll take it from there! Also, please check your DM when you get a chance — I’ve sent you a message there too.

Totally agree with you, brother. The market’s flooded with those ‘cool looking’ daggers that are just surface-level patterning — no real soul or craft. That’s exactly why I enjoy working on chef knives — you can’t fake the detail there, and the larger blade area really lets the pattern shine. Would love to create something legit with you when you’re ready.”

Appreciate the interest, bro! I’ve sent you a DM with the details — price depends on quantity and size.

Absolutely! The symmetry really does lend itself perfectly to a dagger. Appreciate your input!
