This is a beautifully crafted White Deer Grooved Damascus Steel Butcher's Cleaver Knife. Damascus for this knife was created by forged welding multiple layers of steel into a Solid block called a billet (15N20 & 1095 High Carbon Tool Steels). The billet is folded and re-welded several times to produce several layers. Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process. When acid is added to the blade, it attacks the layers of hard and soft steel differently, highlighting the attractive layered pattern in the Steel.

The combination of layered hard and soft steel creates blade flexibility, and toughness and produces invisible serrations on the blade that aid cutting. The hardness of the Damascus steel is 55-60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. The handle is full tang, made of buffalo horn and hardwood, with three brass pins fixing it to the tang, made buffalo horn and hardwood, with three brass pins fixing it to the tang. There are also brass pins fixing the grip to the tang. This knife is a must-have for any hunter or outdoorsman!
