Trusted by 2800+ backers, Shaggs is bringing another masterpiece, we welcome you to our 11th Kickstarter campaign.

Damascus steel has long been valued for its unique combination of strength, flexibility, and edge retention. Created by layering and forging different steels together, it produces a blade that is both tough and resilient, capable of withstanding demanding use without losing its integrity. The signature flowing patterns are not just for beauty, they are a mark of this layered construction. In this knife, the Damascus blade carries those natural waves proudly

The blade itself is designed for purpose. With its kukri-inspired curve, it naturally shifts weight forward, allowing deeper, more powerful cuts with less effort. This shape has been trusted for generations because it enhances chopping and slicing efficiency, making the knife feel lively and responsive in hand.

The handle is crafted from solid rosewood, bringing both durability and a classic, earthy appearance. The wood’s natural grain adds character, while the leather-wrapped grip ensures a firm and secure hold. Even in challenging conditions, the grip remains reliable, giving you confidence and control in every movement.

Comfort plays a major role in this knife’s design. The weight of Roar is carefully maintained, so it doesn’t feel overly heavy or awkward. It sits naturally in your hand, allowing extended use without unnecessary strain. Whether you’re working for minutes or hours, the knife remains comfortable and easy to control.

When it comes to sharpness, this kukri style machete delivers exactly what you expect from a high-quality blade. It cuts cleanly and efficiently, requiring minimal effort to get the job done. From slicing to chopping, the edge responds smoothly, making it a practical and dependable tool for real-world tasks.

First blank blade: The Roar knife is presented without the handle scales, clearly showcasing that it is a true full-tang piece. From the tip of the blade all the way through the handle section, it is completely forged from Damascus steel. The Damascus is original and not laser-engraved.

Speaking of usage, this knife is made for action. It’s ideal for camping, bushcraft and general utility work. Whether you’re cutting wood, clearing brush, preparing materials, or handling campsite tasks, it performs with consistency and strength.

The overall length gives it a strong yet controlled presence. This size offers enough reach and power for heavy-duty tasks while still being manageable and easy to carry. It strikes a perfect balance between functionality and handling.

At the base of the handle, a lanyard hole fitted with a leather lanyard adds an extra layer of practicality. It provides additional grip security and helps prevent accidental drops during intense use. It’s a small feature, but one that makes a real difference in the field.

The complementary sheath completes the package with both protection and convenience. Designed with a sturdy belt loop, it allows you to carry the knife securely on your waist for quick access. Whether you’re on the move or setting up camp, the knife stays protected and always within reach.

For those who want an extra level of durability and protection, a thick sheath is also available as an add-on. Built with heavier material and a more rugged construction, it offers enhanced safety for the blade while ensuring long-term use in tough environments. It’s ideal for users who plan to carry the knife frequently or take it into demanding outdoor conditions, providing added confidence that your knife stays secure, protected, and ready whenever you need it.

Altogether, this knife brings together craftsmanship, durability, comfort, and performance. It’s a well-rounded tool that not only looks impressive but also proves its worth every time you put it to use.
