A Compact Damascus Knife with Serious Intent

Most hunters and outdoorsmen want a knife that can actually work, but still looks special when it’s off duty.

The DXH 1108 is built around a 4" high-carbon Damascus blade—short enough for delicate work, but stout enough to pull its weight in the field:

• The deep belly gives you clean, sweeping cuts when skinning.
• The fine point handles caping and detail work without feeling fragile.
• The twist Damascus pattern is more than looks: those alternating layers help balance toughness with edge retention when heat-treated correctly.

This is a knife that’s at home both on a belt and in a display case.

Master-Forged Blade – Twist Damascus Pattern

• Steel: 1095 & 15N20 high-carbon Damascus, approx. 256+ layers.
• Heat Treatment: Target hardness of 58–60 HRC for a razor-sharp yet field-serviceable edge.
• Pattern & Finish: Hand-forged twist Damascus pattern. No two blades share the exact same swirl, so each knife is genuinely one-of-a-kind.
• Blade Style: Compact skinner / field blade with leaf-shaped profile for controlled cuts, detailed work, and efficient slicing.
• Spine: Squared 90° spine suitable for scraping bark, striking a ferro rod, or controlled thumb pressure.

Premium Handle – Built for Grip & Control

The DXH 1108’s handle is designed to stay put when your hands are cold, wet, or bloody.

• Materials: Dual-material blue Pakka wood & natural bone for a secure, tactile grip with standout visual appeal.
• Ergonomics: Contoured scales and a shaped palm swell help your hand find a natural position quickly.
• Finger Ring: Large index-finger ring gives you extra leverage for skinning and detail work, and dramatically reduces the chance of slipping forward on the blade.
• Details: A brass mosaic pin and colored spacers prove each knife is individually fitted and finished.
• Lanyard Hole: Built-in lanyard hole at the butt for tethering the knife to your belt, pack, or wrist.

Leather Sheath & Field Carry

• Sheath: Custom-fit, hand-tooled leather belt sheath with secure snap strap.
• Carry Options: Vertical belt loop keeps the knife close and easy to reach when you’re moving, kneeling, or dressing game.
• Protection: The sheath protects both the edge and your gear, so you can carry a sharp Damascus blade without worry.
