  • Blade Style: A swept-point hunting or "trailing point" blade, designed for long, slicing strokes.

  • Handle Construction: A classic stacked leather washer grip, providing an excellent non-slip texture.

  • Guard & Pommel: Brass finger guard and a distinct Stag/Antler crown pommel (the "butt" of the antler), which gives the piece a rugged, outdoorsman feel.

  • Sheath: Custom leather sheath with a basketweave or floral tool pattern, likely made by Behnke himself.

    • ]]>     Bill Behnke has been forging knives since 1984. Based in Michigan, he transitioned into bladesmithing through his interest in muzzle-loading guns. He is widely recognized in the knife-making community not just for his blades, but for his “Behnke File Guides,” which are considered an industry standard for achieving perfectly symmetrical plunges and guards.

    His work is characterized by a “from scratch” philosophy, often involving hand-forged Damascus or high-carbon steels like 1084 and W2. He is known for a clean, traditional aesthetic that prioritizes functional ergonomics and a high level of hand-finish.
