When beauty and function come together, the result is something truly exceptional. A knife with true spirit and character! Damascus steel – the fine steel of the swordsmith The production of the Damascus Limited Edition 2011 is restricted to only 4000 pieces. Damascus steel represents craftsmanship that goes back more than a thousand years. Even in antiquity, a few resourceful sword-smiths knew how to create blades of unusual toughness and hardness from different kinds of steel. The multiple folding and forge welding led to a homogenization of the material, and required a great deal of skill and dedication. Then as now, the crowning highlight in the production of a Damascus blade was the finish. With careful grinding, polishing and etching the unique and characteristic patterns are reveled, thereby providing a glimpse into the soul of the steel. (The blade of this knife is manufactured from stainless high quality Damascus steel, 60 HRc). Features include: large blade, small blade, can opener with small screwdriver, corkscrew, reamer, punch, Key ring inox, cap lifter with screwdriver, wire stripper, scissors and multi-purpose hook (parcel carrier).
