5" Damascus Stag Medium Fixed Knife. Razor Sharp: Never worry about dull chopping again with premium razor-sharp blades that make cutting a dream. Durable Design: More than 200 layers of Damascus Steel are used to create a knife, guaranteeing lasting sharpness and durability. Makes the Perfect Gift: Give this one-of-a-kind hand-crafted Damascus chef knife set to a close friend, family member, or coworker, and they will be in awe of your impeccable taste. Leather Sheath: Custom heavy and sturdy leather sleeve is included. The Damascus blades for these knives were created by forge welding multiple layers of steel into a Solid block called a billet (4340 &1095 High Carbon Tool Steels). The billet is folded and re-welded several times to produce several layers. Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process. When acid is added to the blade, it attacks the layers of hard and soft steel differently, highlighting the attractive layered pattern in the steel. The combination of layered hard and soft steel creates blade flexibility and toughness and produces invisible serrations that aid cutting. The hardness of the Damascus steel is 54-56 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Damascus steel has a higher content of carbon which gives it a long-lasting edge. However, the carbon makes it susceptible to rust when it is subjected to moisture. Proper Care Tips: Do not store knives in the leather sheath/leather roll for long periods of time. After use, wash in warm soapy water and dry immediately. Use cooking oil to coat the blade before storing. If rust appears, rub the blade with a metal polish or a very fine steel wool, then oil the blade. Damascus knives take a little more care, but their sharp, long-lasting edge and great feel will last you many years to come.
