The Big Sky Damascus Knife Kit is a USA-made carbon steel fixed blade blank designed for hunters and makers who value both function and refined craftsmanship. Built from high-layer Damascus steel and heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 56–58 RC, this blade is hollow-ground and ready for your custom handle build.
With a 4.00 inch blade and an overall length of 8.70 inches, the Big Sky is an ideal size for a belt sheath knife. Its 1.125 inch blade width provides excellent control for field dressing, skinning, and general outdoor utility tasks. The flowing profile of the blade offers a balanced and natural feel in hand, making it a comfortable choice for extended use.
This blank features two 0.250 inch tang holes for mounting handle material and one 0.310 inch thong hole for lanyard or retention strap options. It includes stainless steel pinstock, but thong hole tubing is not included. All mounting holes can be modified to accept alternative hardware, such as larger pins or threaded fasteners. Whether you're crafting a personal hunting knife or a custom piece for a client, the Big Sky kit delivers top-tier American steel and a versatile platform for your next build.
