Made from Damascus steel the blade features a twist style pattern that gives this piece a little something special.  Damascus steel is known throughout history as being a formidable blade. The technique used in creating the steel allows the Blacksmith or Artisan to create pieces of art without compromising the strength and durability.  Damascus steel is also known as one of the best edge retention steels out there. Not only is the blade made from Damascus but the guard just above the handle is as well and it mimics the same design accentuating the simple wooden handle. The wooden handle has been polished and contoured for comfort with a brass pipe near the end. To protect your blade when not in use is a hand stitched leather sheath with a belt loop and place to house a sharpening stone.
