These natural differences contribute to the individual character of a handmade knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTraditional Handmade Styling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife is designed for customers who want something more distinctive than a standard molded-handle fishing knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural buffalo horn and wood immediately give the handle a traditional appearance. Combined with the long polished blade and stitched leather sheath, the overall design has a classic outdoorsman's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved handle profile also complements the sweeping shape of the blade, creating a balanced visual flow from the butt of the handle to the fine point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrown Leather Sheath Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fitted \u003cstrong\u003ebrown leather sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e is included with the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheath follows the long shape of the blade and features contrasting stitching around its perimeter.
