CUSTOM HAND FORGED DAMASCUS BLADE BOWIE KNIFE
True hand forged folded Damascus steel - Camel bone handle with brass bolster
Includes a free hand made wooden Oregon Pine presentation case
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.
This Damascus bowie style hunting knife features a full hidden tang construction, ensuring strength and durability.
The blade has been hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steels into 416 layers and a beautiful twist pattern.
The cutting edge has been heat treated to attain a hardness of 58-60 on the Rockwell scale.
Camel bone was used to construct the handle and it is rounded off with a solid brass bolster and butt cap.
Accompanying the knife is a hand tooled thick leather sheath.
