Slate Ridge Tanto Tracker Knife 10" Handmade Twisted Damascus Blade

The tanto blade shape earned its reputation for strength at the tip, giving hunters a durable point alongside the general-purpose cutting capability of a tracker knife. The Slate Ridge Tanto Tracker Knife combines those two design traditions, continuing the same functional approach as every Tanto Tracker Knife we forge today. Twisted Damascus steel adds another layer of craftsmanship, with the twisting process creating a spiral grain distinct from standard straight-wave patterns.

Blue resin handles became a trusted choice among outdoor knife makers for their durability and bold, standout color that holds up well to regular field use.

Introduction

If you want a blade that combines tanto point strength with tracker-style versatility, the Slate Ridge Tanto Tracker Knife delivers both. At 10 inches overall, with a 5.5-inch blade and 4.5-inch handle, it's sized for real field capability without feeling unwieldy in hand. As a Survival Knife, the full tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the handle, giving it lasting strength through repeated use.

The blue resin handle offers a secure, weather-resistant grip, while engraving and customization are available on request. As an Outdoor Hunting Knife, it includes a cowhide leather sheath for safe storage and easy carry.

The tanto tip adds extra strength for detail and piercing tasks, while the overall tracker profile keeps the blade versatile for general field work. Full tang construction runs through the entire handle for solid balance during extended use.

Uses and Safety

The Slate Ridge Tanto Tracker Knife works well for hunting, camping, and general outdoor field tasks. Clean and dry the blade after each use to prevent rust from forming on the Damascus pattern. Store it in the cowhide leather sheath when not in use, and keep it away from children.
