Lance-shaped knife blade made of Damascus steel.
This slender knife blade made of genuine damask steel with 176 layers is based on a historical model from the Viking Age - perfect for making an authentic Viking knife with little effort.
Narrow knife blades made of damask steel were already used by Germanic tribes and Vikings. So this lancet-shaped blade is also ideally suited for an authentic representation in the reenactment of the early Middle Ages.
The Viking knife blade is equipped with a so-called tang, which is inserted into the wooden or bone handle for attachment.
The damascus knife blade is forged from two different types of steel: AISI 4340 is a hard tempered steel that has a low carbon content, contains nickel and chromium as well as molybdenum, and has high toughness.
And from 15N20 a nickel-containing steel with good properties, which produces beautiful bright sections and good contrasts when processed in Damascus steel. 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 18.5 cm
Cutting edge 9.5 cm
Blade width 2 cm
Blade back 3 mm
Handle tang 9 cm
