Arabian Nights Damascus Steel Dagger with Leather Sheath

Damascus steel is well sought after not only because of the gorgeous design it adds to the blade, but also for its ability to maintain a keen edge. The blade of this dagger is hand forged from Damascus steel. 400-520 layers heated and folded over and over give the blade that striking wave-like appearance. The 1095/15N20 steel we use has a Rockwell Hardness rating of 58-60. The pommel and guard are also made from Damascus, and carry the same wave pattern as the blade. The wooden handle has been made into a beautiful basket weave design, complimented well by the brass and red wood inserts. Included with this exquisite dagger is a hand-tooled leather sheath that has been stained a rick red-brown.
