CUSTOM HAND FORGED DAMASCUS BLADE BOWIE KNIFE
True hand forged Damascus steel - Olive wood handle
Unique custom made piece
Presented in a beautiful hand made Gum burl and Yellow wood 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 massive bowie is not only stunning in its simplicity, but also rock solid because of a full hidden tang construction.
The 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 Damascus pattern and has been sharpened.
The beautiful olive wood 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.
