Handmade VG10 Damascus Cowboy Knife – Bull Cutter with Pakka Wood Handle

Handmade VG10 Damascus Cowboy Knife – Bull Cutter

This handmade VG10 Damascus cowboy knife combines a compact Western bull cutter profile with layered VG10 and 15N20 Damascus steel, a stabilized Pakka wood handle, and a handmade cowhide pancake sheath. The 8-inch overall profile gives it a distinctive cowboy and ranch-knife character without the bulk of a larger fixed blade, making it easy to carry for everyday use.

The layered Damascus construction creates a natural steel pattern across the blade, while the red and blue Pakka wood handle adds a bold Western look. For shoppers comparing styles, you can also explore our cowboy knife collection for more handmade Western fixed blades.

A Western Ranch Knife Made for Belt Carry

This cowboy knife is a true ranch knife and a classic western knife. In its pancake sheath it rides as an everyday belt knife, and the Pakka wood handle gives a comfortable grip for ranch chores, camp jobs and cutting rope, a working standout among handmade knives.

VG10 & 15N20 Damascus Blade

The blade is made from layered VG10 and 15N20 stainless Damascus steel. The listed hardness is 59–61 HRC, and the blade length is 4 inches. The visible pattern comes from the layered steel construction, giving each handmade piece its own visual character.

As heat-treated steel in the 59–61 HRC range, this Damascus steel is made to hold its edge, giving good edge retention and a sharp, reliable cutting edge. Because VG10 is a stainless steel, this VG10 Damascus cowboy knife is also easier to look after than a plain high-carbon blade.

Handmade Damascus Steel with Quality & Craftsmanship

Each knife is finished by hand, from the clean edge on the blade to the fit of the handle and sheath. The result is solid construction and a premium feel in hand that sets it apart from mass-produced fixed blades.

Compact Bull Cutter Profile

The wider bull cutter shape gives this handmade cowboy knife its recognizable Western profile. With an 8-inch overall length, it is a compact fixed blade for collectors and outdoor users who prefer a smaller ranch-style knife, and it works as an all-purpose knife for everyday use on outdoor adventures, camping, and around the ranch.

Stabilized Pakka Wood Handle

The handle uses stabilized Pakka wood with red and blue pattern variation. Pakka wood is more stable and moisture-resistant than untreated natural wood, and its shaped profile gives a secure grip and solid balance with the Damascus blade.

100% Genuine Leather Sheath: Handmade Cowhide Pancake Style

A cowhide leather pancake sheath is included. This leather sheath keeps the knife close to the belt in a pancake-style design and complements the traditional Western appearance of the knife.
