BLACK BOG OAK HUNTER – Raindrop Northern Lights Version English Handmade Knives by Chris Matthews A 4,000 year old story in your hand

This Black Bog Oak Hunter is a one-of-a-kind handmade hunting knife from English Handmade Knives, combining ancient English heritage with modern Damascus artistry.

The handle is crafted from 8mm Black Bog Oak, carbon dated to 2,000 BC and recovered from East Anglia. Preserved for over 4,000 years in the fenland peat, this is one of the most rare and stable handle materials in the world – dark, dense and with a history you can feel.
