HUNTSMAN — Trust the Blade. Own the Wild.
The Huntsman is not just a knife—it’s a commitment to the wild places that shape us. Built for those who hunt, roam, and live by their own rules, this custom blade is a dependable tool forged to thrive where reliability matters most. Whether you’re miles from camp or knee-deep in scrub, the Huntsman is designed to earn its place at your side.
Handcrafted from premium 80CRV2 High Carbon Steel, the Huntsman delivers an exceptional balance of strength, toughness, and edge retention. The addition of Chromium and Vanadium allows the steel to be heat treated to a higher hardness without becoming brittle, resulting in a blade that stays sharp longer, resists chipping, and performs with confidence in demanding field conditions. From processing game to camp chores and bushcraft tasks, this steel is chosen for real-world use—not display cases.
Each blade is finished with a hand-rubbed satin polish, highlighting clean grind lines and giving every Huntsman its own subtle character. No two blades are ever exactly the same—each one carries the unmistakable mark of hand craftsmanship and the forge that shaped it.
The handle is where form meets function. A robust full tang construction provides strength and balance, while striking Pale Moon Ebony scales bring natural beauty and durability together. Accented with a Black Micarta and Red G10 spacer set on Black G10 liners, the handle delivers a secure, comfortable grip that remains stable in wet, cold, or dirty conditions. Designed for extended use, it sits naturally in the hand and inspires confidence with every cut.
Paired with the blade is a hand-stitched, full-grain leather sheath, custom-fitted for secure carry. Designed for right-side hip carry or left-side cross-draw, the sheath features a protective cover flap that shields the handle while keeping the knife instantly accessible when needed.
Trusted by hunters, outdoorsmen, and adventurers alike, the Huntsman has earned its place as a permanent fixture in our core catalogue. It’s a knife built for hard use, honest work, and a lifetime of stories in the field.
This will not be the last version of this knife due to popularity it has been added to the regular catalogue. For more on this read the article on Production scheduling

You can tell a lot of love goes into making these knives just by appreciating the craftsmanship. Knowing I have a unique knife with the pride of it being crafted in Australia makes me love it even more. The leather sheath is incredible and has to be the best I have ever owned. Beyond just the knife, the customer service was amazing, the owner quickly responded to all my questions and helped me decide on what knife to buy. Without a doubt, i can tell you, these knives are 100% quality, they feel amazing, look beautiful and are special in their uniqueness and craftsmanship. I will buy from SKA Australia when in need of a quality knife, or even just to add to my collection.
Cheers

I was gifted one of your Huntsman knives this winter from a friend from Australia. Just put it to use on a bear hunt here in BC Canada. Broke the bear down with your knife. The blade did an amazing job. Thought you might like some pictures.
