D2 Polished Hunter — Leather Stack Blade: 5.5" · Overall: 10" · Hardware: Nickel Silver & Brass · Finish: Polished

A classic hunting profile built with the weight and balance of traditional materials. This D2 build pairs a 5.5" polished blade with a hand-stacked leather handle, resulting in a tool that feels anchored in the hand and ready for the long haul. It is an honest piece of gear designed for the field, not a display case.

Blade & Performance

  • D2 tool steel provides a hard, high-wear edge that excels at skinning and heavy field processing.

  • 5.5" blade length provides significant reach for camp tasks and large game utility.

  • Hand-polished finish offers a refined, professional look while maintaining the aggressive "bite" the D2 edge is known for.

Handle & Fit

  • Hand-stacked leather handle provides a warm, organic grip that develops its own character and conforms to the hand over time.

  • 10" overall length is balanced tip-to-pommel, ensuring the blade remains easy to maneuver despite its size.

  • Compressed leather construction provides a natural, slip-resistant texture that performs well in wet conditions.

Hardware & Details

  • Nickel silver guard and pommel provide a high-contrast, traditional accent while protecting the hand during heavy use.

  • Polished brass spacers add a deliberate weight and a classic smithery detail to the handle transition.

  • Precision-fitted assembly ensures a solid, no-wobble feel through the entire length of the tool.

Use Case

Ideal for large game hunting, field dressing, traditional woodsman tasks, and any camp chores requiring a substantial, reliable blade.

What You’ll Love

  • The classic "heirloom" feel of the stacked leather handle.

  • The aggressive edge retention of polished D2 steel.

  • A full-sized hunting tool that balances tradition with disciplined, veteran-built performance.
