Apparition question?

[meeker]

My wife gave me the NICA Benchmade Apparition for Christmas with the damascus blade. Benchmade says the blade is Hakkapelitta damascus. What is "Hakkapelitta". It is a beautiful blade!

That is the damasteel pattern.

I always liked the look of the apparition but hated the cheap looking fake horn scales. The knife looks ten thousand times better with the classy carbon fiber scales! Congratulations on the knife, your wife made an outstanding choice.

Figures.

The sweetest looking version is close to unobtainium.

quick question as I'm behind on the lingo. I heard that "damasteel" is a term for "faux damascus." Is this true? Is damasteel just regular steel that is etched into a damascus pattern?

Check www.damasteel.se ,their website explains exactly what it is and how it's made.

She has great taste.:thumbup: Congrats on the Apparition!
