Crocodile Dundee's famous words "now that's a knife" definitely apply to this awesome Bowie knife. With a hefty 10.5" Damascus Steel blade, this blade will do the trick in any scenario! Hunting a boar? No problem. Croc? Perfect.
The 5.5" white bone handle gives ample hand space when wearing gloves, and is accented by brass bolster and pommel for protection on both ends of the handle.
Comes complete with a custom leather sheath with belt loop.
As with all carbon steel knives, care should be taken to reduce corrosion by keeping the blade dried immediately after use and keeping out of prolonged wet environments. A light coat of vegetable oil / knife oil also goes a long way!
Ships with confidence from the great State of Texas
HISTORY:
There is a long history of Damascus Steel being used for making knives, swords, daggers, etc. It originated in the Near East; later introduced in the thriving weapon economy of Damascus. Damascus steel craftsmanship was a lost art form for the past few centuries, but has been revived over the past few decades. The "wootz steel" used in the origin years is no longer used, but modern day metalsmiths have mastered the art form of pattern welding, where different types of steel are used to form a billet, typically a combination of 1095 and 15N20 carbon steel. The billet is then folded multiple times creating layers that form the beautiful patterns found in Damascus Steel, hardening in the process. The blades are typically hardened to 57-58 HRC; ratings above 55 are ideal for edge retention (HRC ratings higher than ~64 are too brittle for effective blade use). The result is a long lasting cutting edge on a beautiful patterned blade. This is a hand crafted process that cannot be mass produced and speaks to the craftsmanship and skill of the artisan.
KNIFE CARE:
Damascus steel has a high carbon content and is prone to rust when exposure to moisture or acidic residue is left un-tended. Immediately after use, wipe down the blade and thoroughly dry (wash with warm water if necessary, but do not use soapy / dishwater), and apply a coat of vegetable oil, coconut oil, or any lubricated oil/vaseline. Store or display in a dry space. Note that for long term storage, the custom leather sheath should not be used. Use the sheath as you carry or transport the knife, but do not leave in the sheath for extended periods of time.
SHARPENING: Damascus steel requires no special techniques for sharpening. As with all quality knives, the best way to sharpen a Damascus blade is by using a whetstone.
