Find your knife
Fourteen ways in. By job, by size, by steel, or by who you are buying it for.
A UNIQUE DAMASCUS PATTERN.
SHARP FOR EVERY TASK
Every knife comes sharpened and oiled for optimal usage and manteinance while in the box.
In the hand, not on a table
Every Bigcat is filmed the same way, turned slowly in daylight, so you can judge the pattern and the fit before you buy rather than after.
Predator Hunter
The patented shape, turned in the light so you can see the 288 layers run the length of the blade.
Karambit Desert Fox
A hawkbill that cuts on the pull, with the finger ring cut from the blade steel rather than bolted on.
Patriot
Fourteen inches, a 9 inch blade and a full tang. The one people buy when they want one big knife in camp.
Read the steel, not a print
Every Damascus Bigcat is 288 layers of 15N20 and 1080 steel, forge-welded and folded, then etched until the pattern comes up. The layers run through the blade, so you can follow them along the spine and into the edge.
A printed or laser-etched pattern stops at the surface. That is the difference you are paying for, and the one a photo cannot show you.
A tough tool for tough people.
OUR STORY
Built for the wild ones who won't settle
Bigcat is made for the people who ask the most of their gear: hunters out before first light, campers who keep going where the trail ends, and collectors who can tell real Damascus from a print at a glance.
Every knife is designed in the USA and handcrafted by skilled craftsmen in Wazirabad, Pakistan, a city known for its knife makers for centuries. The one you carry is made to be used in the field and kept for good.

Handcrafted in Wazirabad
Skilled craftsmen with generations of experience make every knife by hand, not on a factory line.
-
Real Damascus steel
288 layers of 15N20 and 1080, forge-welded and folded, so the pattern runs through the steel instead of sitting on top.
-
Made to be collected
No two blades share a pattern. Carry yours into the field, or give it a place in your collection.
