Wild Tiger Damascus knife in an open wooden presentation box

A collector knife earns its place by being worth looking at and by being the only one of its kind. These six are the Bigcat knives we would pick for a collection: long blades that show the most Damascus, figured wood handles, a karambit and our patented Predator Hunter in olive wood. Every blade is pattern-welded from 288 layers, so no two in the world are identical, and each comes with its own leather sheath.

What makes a knife collectible?

Rarity, craft and a reason to take it off the shelf. A pattern-welded Damascus blade answers the first two on its own: the pattern is made by folding and grinding, so each blade is unique, and it is plainly the work of hands. Figured wood, a crossguard or an unusual shape give it the third.

Why these six

The Patriot has the longest blade we make, 9 inches of Damascus on a 14 inch knife with a crossguard on both sides. The Raptor is 13 inches with a 7.7 inch blade and a straight crossguard. The Leopard Hunter is a 12 inch clip point. The Wild Tiger has the most decorative handle in the range, with wood and metal spacers next to the bolster. The Predator Hunter in olive wood is our patented shape in a lighter, busier grain. The Karambit Desert Fox is the odd one out: a curved hawkbill blade with a finger ring.

How to display a Damascus knife

Out of the sheath, if it will be on show for a long time. Leather holds moisture against steel, and carbon steel spots where it stays damp. Give the blade a thin coat of oil before it goes on the stand or into a case, and wipe it again every few weeks. Keep it out of direct sun, which dries the wood of the handle.

Can a collector knife still be used?

Yes. These are working fixed blades, not wall hangers, and each carries the same 12 month warranty against defects in workmanship and materials as the rest of the range. Use leaves marks on the steel over time, and on Damascus many collectors like that.
