Viking Knife with Damascus Steel Blade and Wooden Handle
This hand-made Viking Age knife (Seax) features a sharpened 256-layer Damascus steel blade and a wooden grip with brass butt and collar. Delivery includes a beautiful tanned leather sheath with ornate brass fittings and two brass rings and leather belt loops for typical Viking-style horizontal carry.
The terms Damascus steel, damascene or pattern welded designate a compound steel forged out of two or more different types of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, a former stronghold of the patterned steel production. As a common practice, a harder high carbon steel and a milder low carbon steel are repeatedly forge welded and folded together. The high carbon steel ensures a higher hardness, a better temperability and longer lasting edge retention, whereas the milder steel confers greater blade flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which arose in a time where steel qualities were often low and inconsistent, enables to combine the positive attributes of the various steel grades. Besides, the different shadings generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers engender strikingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called Torsion Damascus pattern or the Rose Damascus pattern. Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why inherent magical properties were attributed to the Damascus steel blades of the Middle Ages.
Details:
- Blade material: Damascus steel (256 layers), sharp edge
- Handle material: wood and brass
- Overall length: approx. 25.5 cm
- Blade length: approx. 13.5 cm
- Weight: approx. 160 g (approx. 320 g with sheath)

Specs may slightly vary from piece to piece.
The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
