Find your knife
Everyday 10 inch hunters, big 12 to 14 inch blades, karambits and trackers, or the plain satin of D2 steel.
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.

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.

Build your kit
Most owners do not stop at one. A hunter for the close work, something longer for camp, and a small blade for everything else.
The one you carry
A 10 inch hunter covers field dressing, camp cooking and the ordinary cutting that fills a day outdoors.
The one for camp
Twelve to fourteen inches, for the jobs where a 5 inch blade simply runs out of knife.
The one for everything else
A karambit for cord and boxes, or a tracker with a serrated spine. Small work a big hunter is clumsy at.
What owners say
From the workshop
Steel, care and choosing the knife that suits how you hunt.
