Description: Beautiful 30” Damascus Short Sword + Premium Leather SheathWire-Wrapped Handle with Damascus Pommel & Cross-GuardDamascus 'Water' Pattern 266 Layers 1085 High Carbon Steel + 15N20 Bright SteelSolid, Sharp! The materials, workmanship and quality control of these swords is excellent. I expect you’ll be very pleased, especially at this price. Good construction, tough, solid, and SHARP!!! The damascus will take an incredible edge where the difference in materials seem to create a infinitesimal serrated edge - you can feel it but not see it. The design, beautiful patterned steel (a technique that can be traced as far back as 4th C Vikings) and thick genuine leather sheath make it a modern classic. Influenced by designs dating back to the Roman gladius, the spatha and the Celtic anthropomorphic with remarkable cutting and thrusting ability as well as a skull-crushing pommel.

Some also feature walnut or rosewood handles. We do not use resin to make the handles for any of our Damascus product line. • We use genuine brass in our bolsters, guards, and inlays. We do not use brass plated steel. • Our Damascus knives and swords are available with a variety of tangs (i.e. full or encapsulated tangs). • We currently use two combinations of steel in the forging process of our Damascus blades. Some blades will use a blending of 1074 high carbon steel and WS1 mild steel, while others use a combination of 1085 high carbon steel and 15N20 bright steel. • All our Damascus blades are Rockwell tested between 52 to 58, or higher. This determines the durability of the blade and its ability to hold a fine edge. • The Damascus knives, swords, and blanks are subject to an “acid wash” that helps accentuate the contrast between the types of steel used in the forging of the blades. Because the tang will typically be covered by whatever handle material is used, that part of the blade is generally not subject to the acid treatment. However, the “swirl pattern” of the contrasting steels that is characteristic of Damascus blades will still be visible when inspected closely.
