Small knife blade made of real damascus steel.
This small knife blade made of genuine damask steel is based on a historical model from the Viking town of Birka - perfect for making an authentic Viking knife with little effort.
The Viking knife blade "Birka" is equipped with a so-called tang, which is inserted into the wooden or bone handle for attachment.
Forged knife blades with a tang were already used by Celts, Romans, Germanic tribes and Vikings and were still common during the High Middle Ages. Therefore, this small blade is perfectly suited for an authentic re-enactment of those times.
This noble knife blade made of damascus is perfect for making an authentic damascus knife yourself at relatively low cost and for creating an individual one-of-a-kind piece that meets your own requirements in terms of form and function.
The Damascus knife blade is forged from two different types of steel: AISI 4340 is a hard tempering steel that has a low carbon content, contains nickel and chromium as well as molybdenum and has a high toughness.
And 15N20 is a nickel-containing steel with good properties which, when processed into Damascus steel, produces beautiful bright sections and good contrasts. Both steels together produce the beautifully mottled Damascus steel. Each piece forged from this steel has its own distinctive pattern. The hardness level is 58 to 60 HCR Rockwell.
Dimensions of the knife blade:
Total length 14 cm
Cutting edge 8 cm
Blade width 1.8 cm
Blade back 0.3 cm
