Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Bowie Hunting Knife

Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Hunting Knife with Ram and Buffalo Horn Handle and Damascus Steel Guard    Damascus for this knife was created by forge welding multiple layers of steels into a solid block called a billet (15N20 &1095 high carbon tool steels).  The billet is folded and re-welded several times to produce several layers.  Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process.  When acid is added to the blade, it attacks the layers of hard and soft steels differently, highlighting the attractive layered pattern in the steel.  The combination of layered hard and soft steel creates blade flexibility, toughness and produces invisible serrations on the blade that aid in cutting.  The hardness of the Damascus steel is 55-60 HRC on Rockwell scale.    Specifications:   Overall Length:  8 Inches  Blade Length:  4 Inches  Blade Material:  15N20 & 1095 Hand forged Damascus Handle Length:  4 Inches  Handle Material:  Ram horn, buffalo horn & Damascus steel bolster Spine:  Custom file work Genuine leather sheath included with purchase.
