Viking saxophone knife, long saxophone with Damascus blade and wood/bone handle,

After a discovery in Latvia



This handmade Viking Age knife with a razor-sharp 256-layer Damascus steel blade* is based on an original Baltic war or saxophone knife from the Salaspils Laukskolas archaeological cemetery in Latvia. The wooden handle with bone inlay has an oval cross-section and therefore fits firmly in the hand. The handle clamp and end cap are made of brass or steel. The handle cap also has a practical eyelet for attaching a lanyard (a leather strap is included).



The beautiful vegetable-tanned leather sheath is decorated with elegant fittings. It is equipped with three carrying rings and a carrying system consisting of leather straps and strap distributors. This means that the knife can be worn on the belt in typical Viking style.



The knife is available with a brown handle and brown leather sheath with brass hardware or with a black handle and black leather sheath with steel hardware.



This saxophone is designed as a collector's item or decorative object.



*The term Damascus steel , Damascus steel or simply Damascus refers to a composite steel made from two or more different types of steel. The name is derived from the Syrian city of Damascus, which is considered an ancient stronghold and the origin of Damascus steel production. Typically, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are joined together by repeated welding and forging. The high-carbon steel provides higher hardness, better hardenability, and increased edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and higher resistance to breaking. With this technology, which was developed in a time of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Due to the different colors with different carbon contents, impressive patterns of alternating layers are created, such as the so-called twist Damascus or rose Damascus . Due to these patterns, Damascus swords from the Middle Ages were said to have an inherent magic.
