The blanks are commonly used for manufacturing hunting & Skinner Knives. Damascus is a mixture of 1095 and 15N20, they are heated and then folded over and over to get the desired layers. The blade is burned in acid and it turns the layers into different colors. The layering process also results in a blade that is harder and durable than a single type of steel.

The twist pattern in this Damascus steel is a stunning display of motion and energy, with the swirling lines creating a sense of movement and fluidity across the surface of the steel. The pattern is bold and striking, with each twist perfectly formed and polished to a high shine. The colors of the pattern range from deep blacks to bright silvers, creating a captivating contrast that catches the eye. The twist pattern adds depth and dimension to the steel, giving it a unique and dynamic look that is both modern and timeless.The listing does not include a Leather Sheath, if you are interested in a sheath we do sell them seperately.
