Walnut handle and Olive handle both have the 288-layer Damascus blade (15N20 and 1080 steel) and differ in the wood of the handle. D2 Steel has a D2 steel blade in the same shape and a walnut handle. All three are the same size: 10 inches overall with a 5 inch blade.

I have bought other Bigcat knives, but the olive handle on this one makes the difference. It looks amazing!
Riley H.
It's a super nice Damascus knife with a beautiful handle. Highly recommend it.
Fiona A.
Great knife! The Damascus pattern is astonishing, and the sheath surpassed my expectations. Both are very well crafted.
Predator Hunter Damascus Hunting Knife, Olive Wood Handle
Regular price
$115.00 CAD
The same patented Predator Hunter shape and the same 288-layer Damascus blade, with an olive wood handle in place of walnut. Olive is the lighter and the more figured of the two woods, and no two handles carry the same grain.

Handcrafted Damascus
Every Bigcat knife is handcrafted, not made on a factory line, and the Predator Hunter is a patented design. Its blade is real Damascus steel: 288 layers of 15N20 and 1080, forge-welded into one bar and folded. The pattern comes from those layers, so it runs through the steel instead of sitting on the surface, and no two blades come out the same.
- Real Damascus, 288 layers of 15N20 and 1080
- The pattern shows on the spine and carries into the edge, which a printed or laser-etched pattern cannot do
- 15N20 stays bright and 1080 etches dark, which is what brings the layers up
- Yours will not match the photos line for line
The Blade
The 5 inch blade is Damascus steel: 288 layers of 15N20 and 1080. The layers are folded and forge-welded, so the pattern comes out different on every blade and yours will not match the photos line for line.
- 5 inch modified drop-point blade with a single edge
- Fixed blade, partial tang
- 10 inches long overall
- Weighs about 6.2 oz (175 g)
Handle and Guard
The handle is contoured to fit the hand and has a lanyard hole at the end. A steel finger guard sits where the handle meets the blade.
The handle is olive wood, 5 inches long.
The Sheath
Every knife comes with a hand-stitched leather sheath with a crocodile-texture leather inlay. It carries vertically on your belt, and a snap strap holds the knife in place.
Keep the blade dry and lightly oiled, and let the knife and the sheath dry before you put the knife away.

Bigcat vs a typical factory knife
Most hunting knives at this money are cut from one bar of stainless, finished by machine and packed with a nylon pouch. Yours is forged from two steels, finished by hand and carried in leather that was stitched for it. Here is the difference, line by line.

Every Bigcat is made by hand, one step at a time. Six of them, and the reason no two blades leave the shop the same.
Two steels, 288 layers
15N20 and 1080 forge-welded and folded into one bar. The layers are the pattern, not a print on the surface.
Hardened in oil
Brought up to heat and quenched, the step that puts the hardness into the steel.
Ground blade by blade
The bevel, the belly and the point shaped on the wheel, one knife at a time.
Etched to wake the pattern
An acid bath darkens the 1080 and leaves the 15N20 bright, so the layers step forward.
A sheath cut for this blade
Leather wet-formed around the knife and stitched by hand, with a snap strap to hold it.
Oiled, boxed, ready
It ships under a coat of oil, so it reaches you bright and ready for the first day out.

Etched to wake the pattern
An acid bath darkens the 1080 and leaves the 15N20 bright, so the layers step forward.
A sheath cut for this blade
Leather wet-formed around the knife and stitched by hand, with a snap strap to hold it.
Oiled, boxed, ready
It ships under a coat of oil, so it reaches you bright and ready for the first day out.
Two steels, 288 layers
15N20 and 1080 forge-welded and folded into one bar. The layers are the pattern, not a print on the surface.
Hardened in oil
Brought up to heat and quenched, the step that puts the hardness into the steel.
Ground blade by blade
The bevel, the belly and the point shaped on the wheel, one knife at a time.

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.
-
Designed in the USA
Each Bigcat is designed here, for hunting, camping and everyday work outdoors.
-
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.

FAQ
What is the difference between Walnut handle, Olive handle and D2 Steel?
How big is the knife?
About 10 inches (25.4 cm) overall. The blade and the handle are each about 5 inches (12.7 cm), and the knife weighs about 6.2 oz (175 g).
Does it come with a sheath?
Yes. It comes with a hand-stitched leather sheath that carries vertically on a belt, with a snap strap to hold the knife in.
Will my knife look exactly like the photos?
The shape, the handle and the sheath will. On the Walnut handle and Olive handle versions the Damascus pattern will not, because it comes out different on every blade.
Do you ship outside the US?
Not at the moment. Shipping is free on US orders. Orders are processed in 2 to 3 business days and delivered in 3 to 7 business days after that.
What are the warranty and return policy?
The knife has a 12-month warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. You can also ask for a return within 30 days of delivery if the knife is unused and in its original packaging. Email customerservice@bigcatroar.com to start one. Return shipping is paid by the customer.

The olive handle makes all the difference
I have bought other Bigcat knives, but the olive handle on this one makes the difference. It looks amazing!

Durable and robust knife!
My husband was thrilled with this knife. The blade is exquisite, and it has a really nice heft and balance at the tang. The olive wood is very unusual, making it distinctive to him. I imagine it will become even more personalized with use.

A great knife for my collection
Great knife! The Damascus pattern is astonishing, and the sheath surpassed my expectations. Both are very well crafted. A word of warning: the blade on this knife is extremely sharp.

Adore it,
After delving into the world of Damascus steel blades, I decided I wanted one for myself. Fortunately, my family gifted me this knife for my birthday, and I'm quite pleased with my choice. While I'm no metallurgy or cutlery expert, I believe the fit and finish are excellent. The quality of construction satisfies me completely, and I love the intricate pattern in the steel's appearance. I plan to use this knife, though it won't be the kind that rattles around in my tackle box. Rest assured, it will see use. I'll be sure to provide more feedback in the future.
