This blade is a bridge between worlds. It carries the rugged, soulful silhouette of an Iron Age tool, but its heart beats with the visible, dramatic fire of Damascus steel. I forged this knife from a low-layer Damascus billet, creating a small number of thick, bold bands that tell the clear story of its creation—high-carbon steel and nickel steel welded together in the fire.

The pattern isn't subtle; it's a bold, graphic statement of contrast that wraps around the blade, reminiscent of ancient pattern-welded swords. It's shaving sharp  

This is for the collector who appreciates the history in the form and the science in the steel. It’s a functional artifact, a piece of history that never was.

The Details:

· Blade: Hand-forged low-layer Damascus steel (high-carbon steel {1095} and nickel steel {15n20}), heat-treated for a durable edge.

· Style: Iron Age / Viking-era utility knife 

· Includes: Form-fitted kydex sheath.

· Note: The low layer count creates bold, dramatic patterns; your blade will be entirely unique.
