Damascus Viking Knife - medium

Noble Viking knife with Damascus steel blade.

This high-quality Viking knife with a blade made of genuine Damascus steel was modelled on historical finds from the Viking Age.

The noble walnut handle is smoothly polished and oval-shaped, so it lies very well. in addition, the handle is set with several layers of brass, which give the Viking knife a particularly high-quality appearance.

The handle ends with a small ring that makes it easy to pull the knife out of the sturdy cowhide sheath.

The high-quality knife blade made of genuine damascus steel with 176 layers and a hardness of 56 - 58 HCR Rockwell also demands special attention. Knives made of Damascus steel were highly valued in the early Middle Ages because such blades are characterized by both hardness and elasticity, and a knife blade made of genuine damascus steel is therefore both durable and unbreakable.

The blade of this Viking knife has a pronounced hollow grind and is forged from two different steels in wild Damascus. When both types of steel are forged together into a knife, the result is a particularly beautiful and characterful flamed damascus finish.

On the one hand, carbon steel AISI 1095 is used, a classic among knife steels, which as an unalloyed and stainless tool steel is very tough and easy to grind, with a solid service life.
On the other hand, AISI 4340 is used, a nickel-containing steel with good properties that creates beautiful bright sections and noble contrasts when used in Damascus steel.

The Damascus Viking knife is well sharpened and has the following dimensions:

Overall length 21 cm
Blade length 10 cm
blade width 2.53 cm
Blade back 3 mm
