Blade Detail
HANDMADE STEEL DAMASCUS HUNTING KNIFE - Blade is Hand Forged with 1095 & 15N20 High and Low Carbon Steel with over 252 Layers. These two alloys are folded together many times, then dipped in Ferric Chloride which eats away at the different metals at different rates showing the Damascus pattern. This is genuine folded steel, not laser printed.

HEAT TREATMENT:: Excellent heat treatment to blade | OIL QUENCHED

Scores a 58 HRC on the Rockwell Scale - This metal is tough and ready for work. Creating Damascus steel is still unknown to this day. The process has been lost for the past 500 years. Today, we fold several different sheets of steel together and dip in Ferric Chloride which eats away the metals at different rates to show the Damascus pattern.


Damascus patterns are made by forging or "folding" stainless steel and softer high-carbon steel. To bring out the pattern, the blades are placed in an "acid bath." During this process, the more corrosive high-carbon steel is eaten away, leaving behind unique patterns. We then “seal” the blades using a museum-grade wax coating.

DAMASCUS CARE TIPS

Keep Damascus clean and free of moisture. Damascus blades will require more attention since the higher carbon metals that help create the pattern present a higher risk of corrosion. We recommend cleaning the blade after it has come into contact with moisture and especially acidic materials like apples, steak, or fingers.
Spot clean rust. If your knife is in a humid environment, it will rust. The best way to quickly address rust is to spot-clean your blade with Soft Scrub and a q-tip when you first see it appear. If you can see pitting on the blade, it is especially important to keep those spots clean so that more material is not removed.
Protect the pattern. Apply a small amount of WD-40 or a quality oil when the blade is completely dry to help protect against fading and moisture. Our Damascus is chemically bonded with stainless steel and several different softer metals, so there is no need to worry about chipping or flaking, but the pattern may still wear over time from regular use.
Maintain the edge. 

Do not store the blade in its leather sheath for long periods, as leather can trap moisture and cause rust. Use a separate, dry storage box for long-term storage.
