Harbinger Handmade Japanese Damascus Steel Knife - 9.5" Overall - 5.0" Damascus Steel Blade, Exotic Stained Maple Burl Wood Handle, Brass Pin, Full Tang Fixed Blade with Hand Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalization
Damascus Blade Detail:
The blade is carefully hand forged from 15N20 & 1095 steel using a traditional process of layering, forge welding, hammering, and shaping. This process creates a distinctive Damascus pattern across every blade, giving each Harbinger knife its own individual handcrafted appearance.
The blade is oil quenched at approximately 2100°F and rapidly cooled, with the process repeated twice to develop hardness throughout the steel. The finished blade achieves approximately HRC 58-60 on the Rockwell Scale for dependable strength, durability, edge retention, and cutting performance.
The layered steel is finished to reveal the contrasting Damascus pattern, giving every blade its own unique visual character.
Scales & Handle Detail:
The handle is handcrafted from exotic stained maple burl wood, selected for its distinctive grain, natural figuring, and unique appearance. The wood is carefully treated and finished to help protect it from moisture, drying, and normal environmental exposure.
A brass pin adds structural support and decorative detail to the handle. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the handle for additional strength, stability, and dependable balance.
