LOT OF 9 DAMASCUS CUSTOM HANDMADE HUNTING/FOLDING/KARAMBIT/BOWIE TRACKER WITH SHEEP HORN BULL HORN AND MICARTA SHEET HANDLE MATERIAL. ALL IMAGES ARE ORIGINAL ATTACHED. This LOT is a beautifully crafted Custom Made Damascus Steel Survival TRACKER , BOWIE, FOLDING, KARAMBIT Knife. Damascus for this knife was created by forge welding multiple layers of steel into a solid block called a billet (15N20 & 1095 high carbon tool steel). 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 steels differently, highlighting the attractive layered pattern in the steel. The combination of layered hard and soft steel creates blade flexibility, toughness and produces invisible serrations on the blade that aid in cutting. The hardness of the Damascus steel is 55-60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. The handle of this knife is made out of Buffalo Horn with Copper Bolster. This knife comes with a custom leather sheath. This is a must have for any hunter or outdoors-man! (1) TOTAL SIZE OF KUKRI KNIFE = 13. BLADE SI ZE = 8. HANDLE SIZE = 5. HANDLE MATERIAL = MICARTA SHEET. (2) TOTAL SIZE OF HUNTING KNIFE = 12.

Damascus steel is placed in layers and heated and fused together by hammering. The steel is folded and this arduous process is repeated until hundreds of layers are achieved. It may be then twisted and reheated and flattened again. This produces patterns in the steel which is stunning in its natural design. The folds that cross the cutting edge, hard then soft, hard then soft, create a saw like serrated, edge. This in addition gives Damascus its sharpness. It’s especially relevant to add Damascus knives, viewed by some to be superior to stainless steel knives. These handmade knives are uniquely made and no one knife is ever like the other, giving each knife it’s original character. Knife Care Tips: Care Damascus steel properly to prevent rust. To prevent rust here are some tips; do not store knife for long periods in the leather sheath. If you wash the knife, do so in warm soapy water. Therefore, do not soak knife in water. Wash and dry immediately. Oil or wax the blade to prevent rust also wrap in a soft cloth and store. Wipe excess oil or wax before placing in the leather sheath. For long term storage, store knife with the leather sheath, not in it. Do not use oils with silicone in it, as this can cause rust. If rust appears, rub the blade with a metal polish like Brasso or a very fine steel wool, then oil or wax the blade. Wood handles usually benefit from a light coating of furniture wax and a good hand rubbing. In conclusion, some recommended oils and waxes for the protection and lubrication of the blade. Camellia oil, mineral oil, carnauba wax or simple vaseline. While some may rather use other oils and applications, these are safe to use and will not harm you if you were to have residue on the blade while some other applications maybe harmful if consumed. Also, for chef knives, you can simply use cooking oil. Therefore, never misuse your knife. With proper care and usage, your knife will last for generations.
