Are you a hunter? Love to fish? Do you cut open boxes? Slice ropes? Just like to have a knife handy for whatever you may need? This is the knife you are looking for!! This knife is built to be used regularly and for almost any job. It is slim enough to fit into your pocket without being burdensome. The sheath can even be clipped to an inside pocket. It is rugged enough to use to skin a deer yet simple enough to put in your pocket when you go to work or go out. It can always be ready to carry where ever you are going.
I was commissioned by a hunter to make a knife that he could use to skin what he got. I made three knives for him to choose from, each one had a different handle material and slightly different blade shape. Each one had the same basic look and feel to it. He took one, one sold on e-bay for $150, this is the third one.

Notice the unique look of the blade. This blade has been oxidized to help slow down rust. There are many ways to oxidize steel. This particular process etches the steel and makes the blade take on the appearance of Damascus. THIS IS NOT DAMASCUS – IT IS 01 TOOL STEEL BAR STOCK! I use other methods to oxidize high carbon steels but doing it this way has always been my favorite. I love the look of the blade. I am having fun working with new designs or patterns on the blades. It adds dimension. It adds originality. It adds the Von Hagen touch.
Each Von Hagen Knife comes with a handmade, handstitched WATERPROOF COWHIDE SHEATH that has been made specifically for this knife. There is no chance of this knife slipping out of a sheath that is too big or not sliding easily into a sheath that is too small.

The specs on this knife include...
BLADE MATERIAL: 3/32" 01 Tool Steel Bar Stock
OVERALL LENGTH: 6 3/4"
BLADE LENGTH: 2 3/16"
HANDLE MATERIAL: Beautiful Redwood with a Black Vulcanized Spacer and eight (8) 1/16" Nickel Silver Pins.
Full tapered tang.

Tempered Back to Rockwell Hardness of approximately 60-62.
Bench Tested to assure there is no chipping out.
