Damascus Steel and Blade Detail

The blade is expertly crafted by combining VG10 & 15N20 Steel through layering, welding, and hammering, giving each blade a unique design akin to a fingerprint.

Damascus steel is renowned for its strength and hardness. We enhance these properties by oil quenching it at 2100°F and cooling it rapidly, repeating the process twice to ensure its hardened to the core, achieving a hardness of 62–65 on the Rockwell scale.

SCALES & HANDLE DETAIL: The elegant handle is made from exotic olive wood burl and resin composite. It has been sealed to prevent cracking or drying, preserving the handle for a lifetime.
