Details

The 320-layer Damascus steel is forged from the armor of the German battleship Tirpitz
The salvaging of the steel plates out of the sunken vessel of non-stainless steel has long come to an end. This historic steel is being used for scientific purposes as well as for space travel and is now a rarity on the market.
The full tang has full thickness across the width of the blade, which gives this knife extraordinary stability.
The balanced handle has an excellent grip, even in the cold or when wearing gloves.
The bolsters are made of stainless steel and the handle itself is made of green stabilized maple burl wood and black fiber
The sheath is made of traditionally-crafted saddle leather and is black in color
Solely vegetable tanning materials are used during the tanning process. The leather is retanned in drums over a period of 6 to 8 weeks.
Please note: delivery time can take several weeks.
