Damascus Steel and Blade Detail

The blade is carefully made by combining 1095 & 15N20 Steel through layering, welding, and hammering. This process makes each blade have its own special design, like a fingerprint. Each knife is a unique work of art.

Damascus steel has outstanding properties such as strength and hardness. We amplify its properties by oil quenching it at 2100 deg F to cool it down fast and we do it twice to make sure it’s hard to its inner core to withstand any kind of work you may put it to use. It achieves a 62 or higher HRC on the Rockwell Scale.

Scales & Handle

The elegant handle is made using highly figured exotic rose wood and ram horn. It has been sealed to prevent cracking or drying and preserve the handle for lifetime.
