The Wild Tiger is the dressiest knife in the range. Next to the bolster the handle stacks wood and metal spacers, then runs into a smooth walnut grip that flares at the butt instead of being cut with finger grooves. At 10 inches with a 5 inch blade it is a working hunter that happens to look like a display piece.

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.

Bigcat

Real Damascus, 288 layers

The pattern runs through the steel

Handcrafted in Wazirabad

Craftsmen with generations behind them

Leather sheath included

Hand-stitched, carried on your belt

12-month warranty

Free US shipping and 30-day returns

A plain mass-produced stainless hunting knife with a moulded plastic handle

A typical factory knife

A printed pattern

Laser-etched onto plain steel

Made on a factory line

Stamped out by the thousand

Nylon sheath, or none

Often sold separately

Warranty in the small print

Returns at your cost

From bar stock to your belt

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.

A glowing billet of layered steel under a hammer on the anvil

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.

A red hot blade going into the quench oil

Hardened in oil

Brought up to heat and quenched, the step that puts the hardness into the steel.

Sparks coming off a blade held against the grinding wheel

Ground blade by blade

The bevel, the belly and the point shaped on the wheel, one knife at a time.

A Damascus blade in the acid bath, the pattern coming up

Etched to wake the pattern

An acid bath darkens the 1080 and leaves the 15N20 bright, so the layers step forward.

Hands stitching a leather sheath on the bench

A sheath cut for this blade

Leather wet-formed around the knife and stitched by hand, with a snap strap to hold it.

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.

Etched to wake the pattern

An acid bath darkens the 1080 and leaves the 15N20 bright, so the layers step forward.

Bigcat Knives

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.

THE KNIFE

What makes a Bigcat different?

Handcrafted, not factory made

Made by hand by skilled craftsmen, so every knife has its own character.

Real 288-layer Damascus

15N20 and 1080 steel, with a pattern you can see on the spine and in the edge.

Walnut, Micarta or black wood

Handles in real wood or Micarta, fitted with a steel guard or bolster.

A leather sheath with every knife

It wears on your belt, with a snap strap that holds the knife in place.

Sheath seems to be the wrong way round?

A really fine knife with a robust sheath! However, the sheath is positioned backward. The knife draws opposite of what you're used to, which will take some getting used to. I also wish they had done a better job sharpening the knife; my expectations were higher. Nevertheless, it's an overall great knife.

Superb Quality

Excellent value for your money. This knife is exceptionally nice. It could use more sharpening, but considering the quality for around $35, it's remarkably good.
