desertcart.com : BIGCAT ROAR Leopard Hunter - Handmade Damascus Steel Fixed Blade Hunting Knife 12" - Walnut Wood Handle & Leather Sheath - Hunting, Outdoor Survival, Bushcraft EDC Long Knife - Collector Gifts for Men : Sports & Outdoors

Review: No Collection Complete Without One - This knife is equal to one of high name-brand pedigree, though it’s probably made by some anonymous craftsman laboring in a smoky shop somewhere in India, Pakistan, Longquan Province (China) or Spain, where there is a strong tradition of fine hand workmanship in metals. It may not be immediately apparent at a casual glance, but there are some subtle and unusual things going on with this knife. Note how the centerline of the blade and the centerline of the handle are not parallel, as is typically the case. By being cranked slightly downward at about 2° or 3° (see photos), the handle is better positioned to leverage force for chopping or power-slicing than were it aligned with the blade at 180°. Notice, also, how the cross-guard is set slightly off the perpendicular with both the blade and the handle, a nuanced feature that visually resolves the problematic juncture of the non-coincident centerlines. Now note how the cross guard fairs into the handle with a seamless radius, a design element that pleases the eye and that is pleases the touch even more. And try holding this knife by hooking your forefinger around the guard to engage the hollow in the blade on the other side. How does that feel? And if you’re mindful of the edge, you can caress and fondle this knife while reading your Patrick O’Brien or watching past episodes of “Yellowstone.” You don’t have to be a twisted blade-perv to appreciate this. Moving down to the blade itself, which is 9 in. long, has a spine thickness of about .170-.175 in. thick and a maximum width of 1.70 in., you’ll see how (unlike other Bowie’s) the blade’s silhouette or outline is entirely curvilinear without any angular junctures along the spine as with conventional clip-point Bowie’s, as shown in the photo. The blade’s polygonal cross-sectional shape is unusual, too. Some Damascus steel is crumbly and brittle, suffering from a variety of forging errors, carelessness and inexperience. Not so this steel. It takes and holds an edge, and I would guess by the way it behaves on my hard Arkansas stone that it’s somewhere around 58-59 on the Rockwell hardness scale. It was sharp out of the box, but not shaving sharp. It it didn’t take much work to get it that way. On my belt grinder, I steepened the honing bevel a bit to make the cutting angle more acute, and despite this, the edge holds up nicely under normal use. But curiously, the razor edge I strop on today seems to evanesce by tomorrow. A few laps on the leather seems to restore it, but I swear that difference between sharp and razor sharp seems to disappear overnight. Could it be that those few molecules out there on the edge just evaporate in the evening air? Seems like a case for Mr. Holmes or Ms. Poirot. One other thing in the odd-phenomenon dept. I still can’t figure out why the blade is so light weight, as other reviewers have also noted. Maybe this is related to the disappearing-edge mystery. Anyway, despite all this, the steel is true Damascus. One reviewer wondered why the layering of the steel on the spine of the blade isn’t visible on the polished tang. Well, Damascus when ground on edge and then left alone in this state (not acid etched) will not show it’s layers. An experiment with a knife-blank billet of Damascus will show this. One reviewer complained that some parts were loose and that others fit poorly. The knife I received has a high level of integrity, meaning everything is integral with everything else. Nothing is loose, no seams mismatched, everything is just as it should be. Flawless. This knife seems to sell out fast because the supply is probably limited, it being a hand-made item and not a factory-run product. So I’d recommend without reservation that you buy one of these now. The many photos of it on the desertcart site are true, trustworthy representations. Why wait til they run out of stock again?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Realmente es acero d2 ? la funda está reseca, como muy vieja y con óxido en las aplicaciones metálicas. el mango se veia usado. tiene garantia ?**
A: Sí! es acero D2. En raras ocasiones, los cuchillos sufren unos daños por el transporte o el almacenamiento que pueden hacer que no lleguen en las condiciones perfectas. Por favor contacte con nuestro customer service y solucionaremos su problema.

**Q: Just received my order of two units. Quality knives, but need some honing. What is the proper sharpening angle?**
A: Hand made knives do not share a common angle grind however they are consistent on each one.  I’d use your angle adjustment to fit the shortest path and lock it in and hone the entire blade making it easyer to maintain.   If you hand sharpen as I do use a clean stone and listen for the tale tale sounds

**Q: Definitely D2?**
A: Yes, this knife is made from D2 steel.

**Q: Was I supposed rub off the oil and what is it for?**
A: Your knife comes covered with oil to avoid rusting. Our steel is high in carbon which makes it stronger but as a natural effect, it may rust when exposed to moisture. To prevent that from happening, we suggest you apply Oil after using your BigCat knife.
