Manufacturer's Description - Product Details:
• All our Damascus knives have at least 266 layers during the forging process, with many of them surpassing that mark by several layers.
• We use genuine brass in our bolsters, guards, and inlays. We do not use brass plated steel.
• Our Damascus knives and swords are available with a variety of tangs (i.e. full or encapsulated tangs).
• We currently use two combinations of steel in the forging process of our Damascus blades. Some blades will use a blending of 1074 high carbon steel and WS1 mild steel, while others use a combination of 1085 high carbon steel and 15N20 bright steel.
• All our Damascus blades are Rockwell tested between 52 to 58, or higher. This determines the durability of the blade and its ability to hold a fine edge.
• The Damascus knives, swords, and blanks are subject to an “acid wash” that helps accentuate the contrast between the types of steel used in the forging of the blades. Because the tang will typically be covered by whatever handle material is used, that part of the blade is generally not subject to the acid treatment. However, the pattern of the contrasting steels that is characteristic of Damascus blades will still be visible when inspected closely.

A normal profile has a curved cutting edge and dull straight back that lets the wielder use fingers to concentrate force as well as making the knife heavy and strong for its size. The curve concentrates force on a smaller area, making cutting easier. The knife can chop as well as carve, pick and slice. It's also the best single-edged blade shape for thrusting, as the edge cuts a swath that the entire width of the knife can then pass through without the spine having to push aside any material as other knife profiles like the drop point and sheepsfoot would. Effective for tasks from food preparation including cleaning, skinning, scaling fish and game. Also an effective weapon with penetrating power second to only a dagger.
