Wipe the blade dry after any wet-weather use, since the black horn or resin handle handles moisture better than the Damascus steel does. Store it away from direct sun if displaying, as prolonged UV exposure can dull resin's shine over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 4 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 4 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Damascus steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Style:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Drop point\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Black horn\/resin with reddish-brown wood accent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Detail:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Brass pins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBolster:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e None visible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTang Type:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Full tang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFAQs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why choose drop point over a sharper tip style? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe gradual spine curve reduces puncture risk during detail work, which matters more than raw sharpness when you're working close to hide or bone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the lack of a bolster make the knife weaker? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo, the full tang construction carries the structural load, a bolster is more of a finishing detail than a strength requirement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why combine black horn or resin with a wood accent? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe contrast gives you a visual cue for grip orientation in low light, alongside the aesthetic benefit of two distinct materials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many brass pins hold the handle together? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exact count varies slightly by piece since each handle is fitted individually, but they're placed to distribute grip stress evenly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this knife too compact for larger game processing? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 4 inches, the blade suits detail and skinning work well; for heavier breakdown tasks, pairing it with a larger camp knife works better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JW SteelCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54446069350710,"sku":"sku-45963370725436","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/1994\/0150\/files\/066CEC00-EA10-433D-92AB-3C0931F15375.jpg?v=1787408877","url":"https:\/\/livemoreoutside.com\/products\/duskline-tracker-blade-8-handmade-damascus-two-tone-handle","provider":"Live More Outside","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
