Night Hawk Rasp Steel Field Dressing Knife – Black Micarta & Pancake leather sheath

Night Hawk Rasp Steel Field Dressing Knife – Black Micarta & Pancake leather sheath

The Night Hawk is a handmade fixed-blade field-dressing knife combining a compact hunting profile with a dark, understated finish. Measuring 7 inches overall, it features a 3.5-inch rasp steel blade, a black Micarta handle, and a decorated pancake leather belt sheath. Its manageable dimensions make it suitable for controlled skinning, field preparation, ranch work, and appropriate campsite cutting tasks.

The photographed knife has a broad blade with a curved cutting belly and raised point. This shape provides useful working-edge length while maintaining the precision of a compact fixed blade. A bright exposed cutting edge creates a clean contrast against the dark blade face, while geometric detailing across the upper section gives the knife its distinctive Night Hawk appearance.

Dark-Finished Rasp Steel Blade

The 3.5-inch blade is identified as rasp steel and displays a dark surface finish. Rows of triangular marks extend across much of the blade face, producing a textured pattern that becomes smaller toward the point. The curved belly is suited to controlled slicing and skinning motions, and the defined tip supports careful detail work. No unconfirmed hardness rating, exact steel composition, blade thickness, coating method, or edge-retention period is stated.

Black Micarta Handle

The handle is made from black Micarta and features a visible honeycomb-style surface pattern. Its straight, slightly angled profile complements the dark blade while providing a clear grip area. Two mechanical fasteners secure the handle scales, including one larger contrasting fastener near the rear. The handle materials and geometric design create a consistent black-on-black presentation across the knife.

Decorated Pancake Leather Sheath

A brown pancake-style leather sheath is included. Its surface features dark stitching, geometric tooling, an elongated central motif, and a visible “M4” marking. Belt slots are positioned on both sides of the sheath. Depending on the wearer’s belt width and preferred setup, these slots may support horizontal or cross-draw positioning while keeping the covered blade close to the body.

For Hunting and Field Dressing

The Night Hawk is designed for hunters who prefer a compact fixed blade for controlled field dressing, skinning, and suitable outdoor tasks. Its dark finish, textured handle, and custom-looking sheath also give it strong collector appeal. Browse more purpose-built designs in our handmade skinning knives and hunting knives collections.

Care Instructions

Clean the blade by hand after use and dry it completely. Apply a thin coating of suitable knife oil to the exposed edge and any uncoated steel before storage. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive cleaners, and prolonged soaking. Wipe the Micarta handle with a soft cloth. Condition the sheath periodically with an appropriate leather-care product, and store the clean, oiled blade outside the sheath during extended storage.
