Get Viking Knife Made Of Damascus Steel, Wooden Handle With Bone Trim.

Viking knife with Damascus blade and wooden handle with bone trim



This handmade Viking (saxophone) knife has a razor-sharp blade made of 256-layer Damascus steel*. The front of the wooden handle is striking, with alternating layers of dark wood and light bone separated by red spacers. The end cap of the handle and the ferrule are made of brass. The scope of delivery includes a beautiful tanned leather sheath with richly decorated brass fittings. The carrying system consists of two rings, a belt distributor and three leather straps. Carrying systems of this type were widespread in the Viking era. The belt distributor was used to distribute the individual belts so that the sword or saxophone knife could be worn on the belt at an optimal angle for quick removal from the sheath.



This knife 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.
