D2 is a named tool steel, high in carbon and chromium, cut from one bar. You get an even grey blade with no pattern and a knife that costs less than the Damascus equivalent. If you want the layers, look at the Tracker.

I adore this knife. I can't resist holding and admiring it. Looking forward to using it on camping trips, and I plan to purchase five more for my family.
Riley J.
At first, I had doubts about the quality of the knife, often pictures looking cooler than the actual product. However, when I received it, this knife is unbelievable.

The Tracker D2 is the heavy one: 12 inches, a 7 inch blade with a big curved belly, and 13.8 oz, more than anything else we make. The blade is D2 tool steel finished to an even satin rather than Damascus, with slots cut into the spine, and a guard lug on the edge side taken out of the blade itself. Black Micarta scales sit on a full tang under three lined tube pins.

Handcrafted
Every Bigcat knife is handcrafted, not made on a factory line. Unlike most of the range, the Tracker D2's blade is D2 tool steel with a satin finish rather than Damascus.
The Blade
The 7 inch blade is D2 tool steel with a plain satin finish. There is no Damascus pattern on this one.
- 7 inch blade, 12 inches overall
- Fixed blade, full tang
- Weighs about 13.8 oz (390 g)
- Slots cut into the spine, a tracker-style sawback
- A finger guard lug on the edge side, part of the blade
Handle and Guard
The 5 inch handle is black Micarta. It has a curve for your fingers on the edge side, a flared butt and three lined tube pins.
The guard is a lug on the edge side, cut from the blade steel. A lined lanyard hole sits at the end of the handle. It is a full-tang knife: the steel runs the whole length of the handle.
The Sheath
The Tracker D2 comes with a sheath in black leather. A snap strap holds the knife in place, and the sheath wears on your belt. It also has a front pouch with a two-snap flap and straps with snaps across the front.
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.

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

FAQ
Why D2 instead of Damascus?
Does D2 need different care?
The routine is the same, since both are high-carbon steel: clean it, dry it, and wipe on a thin coat of oil. Sharpening is the one difference. D2 is harder going than our Damascus, so reach for a diamond plate or ceramic rods rather than a soft stone.
What is Micarta?
A resin-bonded composite. It does not move with damp the way wood can, it grips better than polished wood, and it never needs oiling. Both Trackers use it.
What are the slots along the top of the blade?
A tracker-style sawback cut into the spine. They are part of the profile this shape is known for, and they are why the blade looks nothing like our hunters.
How heavy is it really?
About 13.8 oz (390 g) for the knife alone, against 12.3 oz for the Patriot. The full tang and the Micarta are where that weight is.
What sheath comes with it?
Black leather, with a front pouch under a two-snap flap and straps with snaps across the front.

Adore this Knife.
Comfortable handle and sturdy design. The thick blade allows for splitting wood to make kindling.

Beastie knife
Arrived punctually with an ample amount of oil – there was enough to cook a meal for a third-world country. While the initial sharpness was good, I prefer an even sharper edge. A quick session with my workshop-guided field sharpener and a strop transformed it into a razor-sharp tool. It's now on another level, capable of handling tough tasks. The chopping capability is excellent, and the well-treated D2 steel ensures durability. This knife is robust and built to last. Although I haven't used it extensively, I'm committed to putting it through its paces and will return for a detailed review. Stay tuned for updates during my upcoming hog hunting trip in middle Georgia. Definitely worth the $60, and I'm optimistic it could become one of my top knives over time.

Astounding knife!
I adore this knife. I can't resist holding and admiring it. Looking forward to using it on camping trips, and I plan to purchase five more for my family.

Outstanding Blade
I am overjoyed about the knife! I would have given it a 5-star rating, but the sheath is made of cheap leather. It's utterly unsuitable to be paired with this fantastic knife. Another issue I encountered was that I tried to order this knife three times. The first time, I received the wrong knife, and then the knife became unavailable for order. Later, it became available again, but after a day or two, I was refunded because it was no longer available. Undeterred, I attempted to order it a third time. I became concerned because the website kept saying the shipment was delayed. However, it finally arrived!

Really satisfied with my purchase
At first, I had doubts about the quality of the knife, often pictures looking cooler than the actual product. However, when I received it, this knife is unbelievable. Single tang, sharp out of the box, amazing leather sheath. Heavy, good balance, and overall beautiful to look at. Very satisfied with this hunting knife. Can't wait to take it into the jungle and hunt some wild boar for my family. Aloha!
