Forseti Steel Cree Hunter Damascus Knife - Custom Hand-made Fixed Blade Hunting Knife
Hunting is essential to Cree traditions. It has more meaning than putting food on the table-it is a part of their worldview, their identity, and their religious beliefs. In Northern Quebec the Cree Indians still live primarily by the traditional methods of hunting, fishing and trapping. They follow a spiritual way of life meant to balance their personal needs with those of the game on which they depend. They see themselves as merely fellow creatures, predators like the wolf, who must kill in order to survive. This Knife is a work of art in both form and function. As a tool, the belly on this modified spear point and the razor sharp blade will make hunting chores a breeze.
In a world where machines make more and more of the things we buy, it is refreshing to find a product as finely finished as this Damascus steel knife and know that it was hand forged, and hand made with the same tools and techniques from centuries ago. The attention to detail, quality and hand-crafted nature of this knife are on par with on artistic creation that belongs on display while its durability, razor sharpness and practicality are more than adequate if this is intended as a working knife.
Please note: Because each knife is hand made from natural materials, there will be some variation in color, Damascus pattern and overall look. The photos used are taken from a product randomly pulled from inventory. The knife you receive will have the same attention to quality and detail as the one pictured but may differ slightly in appearance.
