“Built with Heritage in Its Hands”
Some knives carry more than craftsmanship — they carry a story.
This hunter was built with purpose from the very beginning. The blade is forged from Damascus steel, bringing together strength, edge retention, and the flowing layered pattern that makes every piece unique. At 5 inches, the blade offers a strong working profile while still carrying the balance and control needed for everyday field use.
The handle is where this knife truly sets itself apart. Crafted from a honeycomb-patterned acrylic, the deep reds, dark tones, and copper accents give the piece a warmth that almost glows in the light. The pattern brings movement and texture without overpowering the blade itself.
At the front sits a hand-engraved copper bolster — and this isn’t just any copper. The material was salvaged from the historic Powersite Dam, a small rural community built on hard work, tradition, and generations of Ozarks heritage. Jeff shaped and engraved the copper by hand, turning a piece of local history into part of the knife itself.
Loveless fasteners secure the handle, while a copper lanyard hole and hand-filed spine complete the piece with both function and detail.
This is more than a knife made to be admired. It was built to work, to last, and to carry a story forward.

Maker’s Note
“Every piece of this knife carries a story — the steel, the copper, the hands that shaped it, and the people who came before us. My hope is that this knife serves you well, and one day becomes part of your story.”
— Jeff Loehr, Bladesmith
