Scythian Warrior Damascus Steel Hunting Knife

Scythian Damascus Steel Hunting Knife

Centuries ago, under the rule of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, it wasn’t unusual to see warriors from distant regions fighting alongside imperial troops. Among them were the Scythians—nomadic horsemen from the empire’s outer edges, famous for their deadly archery skills on horseback. These warriors could strike targets with precision, even at full gallop. Their fierce combat style didn’t just earn them a place in history—it helped shape the evolution of weapon design.

That spirit lives on in this Damascus steel hunting knife. Its distinctive curve pays tribute to the blades once carried by Scythian riders, blending ancient heritage with today’s precision craftsmanship.

A Knife That Tells a Story

The Scythians carried more than just bows. At their sides was the akinakes—a short, curved sword designed for close-quarters combat. We took cues from that historical blade and reimagined it for today’s outdoorsmen and collectors. The result? A gracefully curved profile, an upturned drop-point tip, and a flared handle that fits your grip like it belongs there.

The blade is forged from a tough mix of 1095 and 15n20 high-carbon steels—built to hold a razor-sharp edge and handle rough use. Whether you are dressing game in the field or simply admiring the workmanship, this knife will not let you down. It even includes a handmade leather sheath that can be worn either horizontally or vertically, depending on your carry style.

Every Knife is Unique

Since each blade is handmade from natural materials, no two knives are exactly the same. You might notice slight differences in the color tone, Damascus pattern, or even the wood grain in the handle. That’s not a flaw—it’s what makes your knife truly yours. Each piece is finished with the same dedication and care, no matter the variation.

About the Sheath

Just like the blade, the sheath you receive may have slight differences in color or stitching from what’s shown in the product images. That’s part of the handmade charm. Got any questions? You can always drop us a line—we're happy to help.

How to Make It Last?

This blade is made from high-carbon 1095 steel, which means it’ll rust if not properly cared for. It’s not high-maintenance, but it does require some love. Do not ever use a dishwasher; gently wash it by hand with mild soap and warm water. Dry it fully, then rub on a light coat of oil before storing it. A little regular care goes a long way to keeping your blade looking sharp and performing even better.
