D2 Steel Engraved Ring-Tail Bull Cutter Knife – Cross-Draw Sheath
D2 Steel Engraved Ring-Tail Bull Cutter Knife
The D2 Steel Engraved Ring-Tail Bull Cutter Knife – Cross-Draw Sheath combines a traditional ranch knife profile with a distinctive all-metal appearance. Measuring 8 inches overall, this fixed-blade cowboy knife features a 4-inch D2 steel blade, an engraved metal handle, a circular ring-tail grip, and a decorative leather sheath designed for cross-draw belt carry.
The broad, rectangular blade follows the recognizable bull cutter style traditionally associated with ranch and livestock work. Its straight cutting edge provides a controlled working surface, while the compact 4-inch blade keeps the knife manageable for general ranch, workshop, and outdoor utility tasks.
Engraved D2 Steel Construction
The blade is made from D2 steel and features an engraved, stone-like pattern that continues across the handle. Polished sections contrast with the lighter textured areas, giving the knife a distinctive appearance without relying on additional handle scales. Pattern placement may vary slightly between individual pieces.
A shaped finger recess clearly separates the blade from the handle and defines the gripping area. The approximately 4-inch handle has a curved profile that flows into the circular ring tail, creating a bold Western design associated with traditional bull cutter knives.
Functional Ring-Tail Handle
The large circular opening at the end of the handle is the knife’s most recognizable feature. It provides a distinctive ring-tail appearance and offers an additional point for handling or hanging the knife when it is not being used. Decorative engraved details continue around the ring, creating a consistent finish across the entire knife.
Cross-Draw Leather Sheath
The knife comes with a brown leather pancake-style sheath featuring basket-weave tooling, scalloped borders, contrasting stitching, and elongated belt openings. These openings allow the sheath to be positioned horizontally or at an angle on a suitable belt for cross-draw carry. The warm leather color provides an attractive contrast against the silver D2 steel knife.
