Custom Handmade Damascus Lion Implement with Steel Bolster and Deer Mosaic Pins - CK965

Artisan Overview

Arsons Custom Knife presents the CK965, a monumental 17.5-inch full-tang Damascus field-utility implement. This professional 1.50kg artisan gear set is engineered for absolute structural power and heritage artistry. It features an intricately carved steel bolster and a majestic lion-head handle, signifying the 1991 tradition of master metallurgy. ​Designed as a premier collector’s tool, the CK965 balances heavy-duty utility with high-relief artistic detailing. This artisan implement is hand-forged from high-contrast Damascus steel, delivering a 1-of-1 pattern that celebrates the ancient art of pattern-welding. Whether used for specialized outdoor tasks or as a center-piece for a heritage collection, the CK965 represents the pinnacle of professional artisan equipment.

Feather Pattern Damascus Blade (58-60 HRC)

The guard features a heavy-duty steel bolster with deep integrated artisan carvings. This reinforced transition provides superior hand protection and balance, while adding a unique industrial-artisan aesthetic to the massive 6mm thick full tang frame.

Lion Sculpted G10 Handle & Deer Mosaic Pins

Arsons Custom Knife – FAQ & Heritage Support

Frequently Asked Questions

★

– Are these products considered weapons?

No. Arsons Custom Knife exclusively crafts Manual Heritage Implements designed for culinary, camping, and collector use. Our tools feature traditional manual-opening mechanisms (such as liner locks) and are strictly prohibited for use as weapons. Each piece is a work of Artisan Metallurgy intended for sophisticated utility and 1991 Wazirabad heritage display. We comply with all international safety standards for Handcrafted Culinary Equipment.

+ Do you offer free worldwide shipping?

Yes, we offer Free Worldwide Expedited Shipping on all orders. We partner with trusted carriers like DHL Express and USPS Priority. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, with global delivery typically ranging from 3–6 business days. This ensures our premium Damascus implements are accessible globally without hidden costs.

+ What is your return policy?

Arsons Custom Knife provides a 180-day return policy. This applies to unused items returned in their original packaging. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your artisan tool. To initiate a return, contact our support team for secure shipping instructions. Please note that custom-engraved items are handled on a case-by-case basis.

+ Do your tools come with a warranty?

Yes, every Arsons Heritage Implement is backed by a Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturing defects and craftsmanship. Since 1991, we have stood by the durability of our Damascus steel. Normal wear or damage from misuse is not covered, but we provide expert guidance on maintaining your investment for decades.

+ How should I care for my Damascus steel?

Proper care is vital for artisan metallurgy. Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. To prevent natural oxidation, apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil after cleaning. Store in a dry environment to preserve the high-contrast Damascus pattern and edge integrity.

+ Can I request hand-engraved personalization?

Yes, we offer Hand-Engraved Detailing on most models for gifting or identification purposes. You can specify initials or dates (up to 20 characters) during checkout. This bespoke service adds 1–2 days to processing but ensures your Artisan Implement is a truly unique heritage piece.

What people say about us:

Arsons Custom Knife combines reliable service with exceptional craftsmanship — a brand we truly trust.
"This tracker knife has been a reliable companion for my outdoor trips. The Micarta canvas handle feels sturdy and comfortable, making extended chopping and carving sessions easier on the hands. The Damascus steel blade with its distinctive wavy pattern handles wood preparation, rope cutting, and general campsite tasks with precision. I’ve touched up the edge occasionally to maintain its sharp performance. The leather sheath keeps it secure during travel, and the included Damascus ring is a stylish bonus that complements the blade’s design. It arrived in three days, carefully packaged. The weight may feel substantial for smaller hands, but it adds confidence and control during heavier tasks."
- Michael B., Colorado
"Outdoor trips felt more prepared with this knife’s excellent balance—solid enough for heavier cutting tasks, yet comfortable in hand. The Sanmai Damascus blade with its ladder pattern maintains a sharp edge, handling rope, wood, and general campsite materials with ease. The G10 Micarta handle offers a secure, modern grip that remains stable even in damp conditions. The sheath had a light leather scent at first, which faded quickly. A standout addition is the included Damascus steel ring, beautifully crafted to match the knife’s design, making this both a functional outdoor tool and a display-worthy piece."
- Caden Bryce
"This kitchen knife has completely elevated my cooking experience. The blade slices through meats, vegetables, and herbs with precision, making prep work smooth and efficient. The handle feels comfortable and secure, offering a sturdy grip that remains steady during extended use. My engraved initials add a meaningful personal touch. The leather sheath keeps it protected between uses, and the included Damascus ring is a stylish bonus. It arrived in four days, carefully packaged. Exceptional craftsmanship that blends beauty and performance—an excellent choice for any passionate cook."
- Christopher Hayes
"Outdoor trips felt more manageable with this Kukri-style camp knife. The curved Damascus blade handles wood trimming and campsite preparation tasks efficiently without feeling overly heavy. The polished bone handle offers a secure and comfortable grip during extended use. Edge retention is reliable, though a light touch-up keeps it performing at its best after heavier cutting. The leather sheath protects the knife well and makes it convenient to carry. It arrived quickly, carefully packaged, and ready to use. A dependable tool for campsite setup and general outdoor tasks."
- Lara Vance
"This handcrafted camp knife offers a solid and well-balanced feel. The Sanmai Damascus blade handles wood cutting and general outdoor tasks smoothly, while the bold design attracts compliments. The G10 Micarta handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, even in damp conditions. The goatskin-wrapped sheath protects the knife well and makes it convenient to carry. The included Damascus ring is a thoughtful collectible addition. Delivery was fast, and the packaging was secure. Its weight makes it suitable for heavier cutting tasks, though less suited for detailed work. A dependable and visually impressive outdoor tool."
- Evelyn Marwood
"This chef knife is both beautiful and highly functional. The ebony wood handle with three copper rings looks elegant and offers a comfortable, natural grip during extended cooking sessions. The high-carbon stainless steel blade arrives razor-sharp, slicing meat, vegetables, and herbs effortlessly. It benefits from regular honing, as expected for a quality kitchen knife. I added my initials through the engraving option, which makes it feel truly personal. The included storage box keeps it protected between uses. Shipping was fast, and it arrived securely packaged. Slightly heavier for smaller hands, but the added weight provides excellent balance. A five-star choice for craftsmanship, sharpness, and performance."

Delivery was fast, and the knife arrived well packaged. Balanced and visually striking, it’s a dependable tool for campsite tasks and outdoor activities."
- Kieran Voss
"This two-knife set has been a great addition to my outdoor trips.
