The Damascus Highland Cow Crossdraw Knife draws on a tradition of belt knives built for quick, practical access in the field. Crossdraw sheaths became popular among ranchers and outdoorsmen who needed to draw a blade with one hand while seated or working with livestock. This carry style remains practical today for anyone who spends time on horseback or around cattle. That same functional design shapes every Crossdraw Belt Knife we forge today. Engraved sheaths carry their own tradition among custom knife makers who want to add personal, meaningful detail beyond the blade itself. A hand-engraved buffalo design on the cross pouch turns a simple carry piece into something with real character and story.
Introduction
If you want a knife with real ranch character, the Damascus Highland Cow Crossdraw Knife delivers both function and detail. At 6.5 inches overall, it's sized right for everyday carry without feeling bulky on the belt. As a Scottish-Style Hunting Knife, its rosewood handle and brass bolster give it a classic, refined look built for daily use. The mosaic pins add a detailed finishing touch to the handle, while the hand-engraved buffalo design on the cross pouch makes the sheath as much a feature as the blade itself. As an Artisan Fixed Blade, it's built for those who want their everyday carry gear to reflect real craftsmanship.
Damascus Highland Cow Crossdraw Knife Blade

Uses and Safety

Clean and dry the blade after each use to prevent rust from forming on the Damascus pattern. Store it in the engraved cross pouch when not in use, and keep it away from children.
