CUSTOM HAND FORGED DAMASCUS BLADE KUKRI
True hand forged Damascus steel - bone and horn handle
Unique custom made piece
The kukri is a curved Nepalese knife, used as both a tool and as a weapon.
It is a traditional weapon for Nepalese people, and also a weapon of choice for the Nepalese.
Damascus steel blades are created by forging multiple layers of various steels into a solid block called a billet.
The billet is then folded and re-welded many times to create multiple layers and patterns.
When acid is applied to the blade, it attacks the layers of hard and soft steels differently, highlighting the attractive patterns in the steel.
The combination of layered hard and soft steels creates blade flexibility, hardness and durability and produces invisible serrations on the cutting edge that aid in cutting.
The kukri is not only stunning in its simplicity, but also features a full hidden tang construction.
The curved blade is the result of hours of forging from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steels into 420 layers.
The cutting edge has been heat treated to attain a hardness of 55-60 on the Rockwell scale.
The blade displays a beautiful twisted pattern and intricate hand file work on the spine.
The Bone and buffalo horn of the handle is accented by brass and white fiber spacers and rounded off by a Damascus bolster and butt cap.
Accompanying this incredible knife is a hand tooled thick quality leather sheath, custom made for this knife.
