In 1903, Harry Wolhuter, a ranger at the Sabi Game Reserve (now Kruger National Park) in South Africa, faced a life-threatening encounter while on horseback patrol. He and his horse were attacked by two lions. As one lion dragged Mr. Wolhuter through the brush, he managed to unsheathe his knife and fatally stab the predator, surviving to recount his harrowing experience.

The "Lion Killer" knife is a replica of the very blade Harry Wolhuter used that fateful day. This remarkable and timeless knife design is perfect for countless tasks both at home and in the field, including self-defense against apex predators in the African bush.

Crafted with Excellence

The Lion Killer begins as a solid slab of A36 steel, meticulously cut, forged, and ground to its final shape. The blade undergoes an advanced twelve-hour heat treatment, producing a high-carbon tool steel edge that balances exceptional sharpness with remarkable core toughness.

Full Tang Durability

This FULL TANG chopper is designed for enduring performance, backed by a lifetime warranty as long as my business operates. Each handle is scaled with white oak scales that are secured with hand-pounded aluminum pins, ensuring a secure grip that improves with age and weather exposure.

Hand-Crafted Sheath

Accompanying the Lion Killer is a thick, full body right-side carry leather sheath, hand-crafted by Shankle Homestead Leatherworks in Ohio. This sheath not only protects the blade but also adds to the knife’s aesthetic and functional appeal.

Versatile and Functional

The no frills design of the Lion Killer makes it a knife that’s perfect for any task.

Personal Touches

Each knife includes a handmade 550 paracord lanyard, crafted by my wife and me during evenings spent with our children. The lanyard features a large Buffalo bone barrel bead, two ceramic turquoise beads, and bronze spacers, adding a personal and decorative touch.
