The maker, Bertalan Farkas

Bertalan Farkas began mastering the fundamentals of knife-making in the 1970s and opened his own business in the early 90s, meaning he has been actively hand-crafting hunting knives in small batches for over 40 years. His hunting knives combine decades of knowledge and experience, resulting in thousands of hunting knives sold and many satisfied customers.

Bertalan Farkas is a hunter himself, so he is fully aware of what a hunter needs when it comes to a good hunting knife. He typically carries his own knives on his hunts, actively testing them in real-world conditions.

Features of the hunting knives:

• 100% handmade hunting knife, made from selected quality materials.
• The primary characteristic of Bertalan Farkas hunting knives is high functionality; their design fully meets the needs of hunters.
• The heart of the hunting knives is the German N-695 Krupp steel, which undergoes heat treatment to reach a guaranteed hardness of 59-60 HRC. Bertalan Farkas personally cuts the desired blade shape from the steel sheet, grinds, tempers, and sharpens them himself. Every design is his own. The edge geometry of the hunting knife is razor-sharp. The knives are remarkably sharp.
• Choice of handle material: The handles of the hunting knives are made of quality genuine deer antler or tropical hardwood as requested. Handle materials can be selected according to your preference. Some handle materials are available at an extra charge.
• The hunting knives come with high-quality, also handmade, genuine cowhide leather sheaths, designed to fit the specific models. (Included in the indicated price.) The leather sheaths are also artisanal masterpieces handmade by Bertalan Farkas; he cuts and sews them himself.
  
• Stainless steel bolster

Hunting knife engraving (extra service):

The engraving is done by Bertalan Farkas using traditional hand-chiseling. Hunting knife engraving can be requested for an extra charge.

Only monograms and numbers can be requested; the master does not undertake full names or words.

It consists of the initials of the surname and first name, maximum 2-3 letters. The characters Sz, Cs, Gy, Ty, etc., count as one letter; please place a period after the letters. E.g.: A.B.C., Sz. T., K. Cs., etc.

Engraving options:

• In the top picture: Monogram + oak leaf decoration
• In the bottom picture: Monogram without decoration

Engraving a number on the other side of the blade: Consists of 1 number, e.g., 40, 2023, etc. We recommend this for birthdays and anniversaries.

If you would like monogram and/or number engraving, please select one of the options from the "Monogram engraving" and/or "Engraving on the other side of the blade" dropdown menu when placing your order, and enter the appropriate details in the fields that appear.

Handle materials

Deer antler handle material

One of the most popular hunting knife handle materials is made from red deer stag antler. We use only selected, top-quality deer antler as handle material. The result is very beautiful, with a contrasting, textured surface characteristic of antler.

Why do I have to wait so long for a hunting knife?

The vast majority of Bertalan Farkas hunting knives are made after an order is placed. Since we receive many orders, please expect a waiting period of a few weeks.

Engraved hunting knives can only be made after ordering, as the engraving must be done before the blade is heat-treated, as it can only be chiseled in that state. After heat treatment, the steel is too hard to be engraved by hand.
