STS Ranch x Exotic Texas Knives D2 Cut-N-Up Powder-Coated Knife with Elk Handle

Powder-coated D2 steel. Genuine elk. Handmade western character that can't be duplicated.

The D2 Cutt-N-Up Powder-Coated Blade Finger-Groove Knife with Elk Handle is individually handmade by Mike Johnson of Exotic Texas Knives for STS Ranch. Featuring a D2 steel blade with a powder-coated finish, finger-groove handle design, and genuine elk handle, this one-of-a-kind knife brings together rugged western style and individual craftsmanship.

No two are exactly alike. The natural elk gives every handle its own color, shape, texture, and markings, while Mike Johnson's handmade process gives each finished knife individual character.

This isn't a knife meant to be owned for a season and replaced. It's made to be carried, used, treasured, and eventually handed down through generations. The marks and memories it gathers along the way become part of what makes it yours.

For shoppers searching for a Mike Johnson handmade knife, D2 Cuttin Up knife, powder-coated D2 knife, elk handle knife, finger-groove knife, Exotic Texas Knives, STS Ranchwear knife, handmade cowboy knife, or heirloom western knife, this piece offers something mass production simply can't: a knife that is truly one of a kind.

Mike Johnson makes the knife. You give it the story.

Genuine Elk Makes Every Knife Unique

Part of the beauty of an elk handle is that nature has already made it one of a kind.

Natural variations in shape, coloring, texture, and markings mean each piece of elk begins with its own character. Mike Johnson then turns that natural material into an individually handcrafted knife.

The goal isn't to make every knife perfectly identical.

The goal is exactly the opposite.

When you choose one of these knives, you're choosing the exact knife in front of you.

For that reason, photographs of the actual knife being sold are especially valuable on each 1930 Remnant product page.

Made to Be Used—and Handed Down

We believe the best heirlooms earn their story.

A knife like this should be carried. It should go to the ranch, ride in the truck, make the trip, and collect a few signs that it has actually been part of somebody's life.

Years from now, those marks can mean more than a perfectly untouched finish ever could.

Because someday, someone may hold it and say:

"This was Dad's."

That's when a handmade knife becomes more than a knife.

It becomes part of a family story.
