IMPACT CUTLERY

Model # 8305 – Redford | By Impact Cutlery

Only one knife made.

Redford is a formidable one-of-a-kind custom hunting knife combining the dramatic character of hand-forged Damascus steel with traditional wood craftsmanship and a rugged sporting design. At 9.50 inches overall, it has substantial proportions while remaining highly practical and well balanced in the hand. It is not simply a showpiece—the knife is strongly and substantially constructed for dependable practical use.

The 4.90-inch hand-forged Damascus blade displays exceptionally pronounced flowing patterning throughout. A functional sawtooth spine adds considerably to its distinctive character, while the broad blade, sweeping cutting edge and strong point give Redford the purposeful geometry of a serious custom hunting knife.

Its natural wood handle is beautifully sculpted with deep individual finger grooves, creating an exceptionally secure grip while showcasing the rich grain and warm variations of the timber. The handle is complemented by an impressive Damascus steel guard and matching Damascus butt cap, carrying the layered steel pattern from the blade through the fittings and creating a beautifully unified design.

Completing Redford is an outstanding dark brown engraved leather sheath featuring deeply defined traditional scrollwork. The elaborate engraving gives the sheath considerable depth and craftsmanship, making it an important part of the presentation of this unique knife.

The knife comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, Impact Cutlery Lifetime Warranty Card, and business card.

Lifetime Warranty – Terms & Conditions

Please note: Lifetime warranty does not cover normal wear and tear.

Normal wear includes blemishes, tarnish, rust, scratches, blade chips, broken tips, edge dings, and dents. Impact knives are not designed to be used as hammers, chisels, pry bars, or screwdrivers. Damage caused by misuse or accidental impact is excluded, but may be repairable for a reasonable fee.

Natural materials—such as bone, horn, or wood—may crack, shrink, or develop other changes over time due to temperature, climate, and age; these are not covered under the lifetime warranty. No knife maker can guarantee against the natural aging of organic materials.

Rust is not covered under the Impact lifetime warranty. Proper care and maintenance are essential.

Care of Your Fine Custom Knife
  1. Never store the knife in a leather sheath.
  2. Never leave the knife wet.
  3. Apply oil/wax after use and before storing.
  4. If rust appears, use 0000 steel wool with oil to clean it off; metal polish can also be used.
  5. Never put the knife in a dishwasher.
  6. Keep the guard, bolsters, and butt caps oiled/waxed.
  7. Keep it sharp — a sharp knife is safer than a dull knife.
  8. Store in a dry place.

If you plan heavy-duty use, let us know when ordering a custom knife so we can shape the blade and bevel accordingly. Knives in auctions are not subject to alterations; suggestions can be made for fixed-price listings.
