Descripción
A red wood spacer between resin and metal isn't accidental placement, it's a deliberate visual break that also serves as a buffer layer during handle assembly, absorbing minor stress that would otherwise transfer directly between two harder materials. The Campfire Drop Point Blade carries that construction detail forward, built as a Damascus hunting blade where the spacer earns its place structurally, not just decoratively.
Introduction
At 10 inches overall, with a 5-inch blade and 5-inch handle, the Campfire Drop Point Blade has real substance for serious field work. This notch blade hunting knife pairs a cream/ivory resin handle with hand-engraved feather detailing and a red wood spacer, giving the grip layered visual depth beyond a single-material build.
Campfire Drop Point Blade Blade
The drop point profile on this feather engraved handle knife includes a notch detail along the edge, adding a functional cutting variation without the full mechanics of a dedicated gut hook. Brass pins secure the resin scales to the tang, and this brass pin Damascus blade construction runs full tang, keeping the balance consistent across the full 7 inch blade length.
At 12 inches overall, this knife carries real weight in the hand, so extended use benefits from a firm, deliberate grip rather than a loose hold. Store this leather sheath hunting cleaver in its dark brown sheath with orange stitching when not actively in use, both to protect the notch detail and keep the blade edge from contacting hard surfaces. Dry the Damascus steel fully after any wet-condition use to prevent surface rust from forming along the forged pattern.

FAQs
Q: What is the notch detail on the blade actually for?
It adds a functional cutting variation along the edge, offering a different cutting angle without the full mechanics of a dedicated gut hook.
Q: Why is there a red wood spacer between the resin and bolster area?
It serves as a buffer layer during handle assembly, absorbing stress between harder materials while also adding visual contrast.
Q: Is 10 inches too large for regular field use?
It's substantial, better suited to serious hunting sessions or general camp tasks where blade length and weight matter more than compact carry.
Q: How do I care for the orange stitching on the sheath?
Keep the leather conditioned periodically, which also helps preserve the stitching from drying out and fraying over time.
Q: Is the feather engraving durable for regular handling?
Yes, since it's hand engraved directly into the resin rather than printed, it holds up well to regular use without fading.
