Our Damascus steel steak knives are a tribute to the cattle and frontier men and women who herded millions of cows across the plains of the US over the last two centuries.    “In character, their like never was or will be again. They were intensely loyal to the outfit they were working for and would fight to the death for it. They would follow their wagon boss through hell and never complain.” - Teddy Blue Abbott We designed the Cattleman Damascus Steel Steak Knives to have a classic look that a cattleman or rancher would appreciate. It starts with the full-tang blade and tall height. These features, along with a long rose wood handle make it easy to cut through large pieces of meat.
