Hello.
This is the prototype of one of our pattern welded Damascus steel wildlife knifes. It can be used also as a hunters knife. The blade is made from 400 layers of steel. There are two types of tool steel inside the blade - CHVG and 7CHNM. I do not know the names/menaings of analogue steels in USA. These meanings are from Russian steel charts.
7CHNM
CARBON: 0.7%
CHROMIUM: 0.8%
NICKEL: 1.8%
MOLYBDENUM: 0.3%
CHVG
CARBON: 1.0 %
CHROMIUM: 1.2%
TUNGSTEN: 1.6%
MOLYBDENUM: 0.3%
MANGANESE: 1.1%
The handle is made from elm. Hand shaped, linseed oiled and polished using beeswax, turpentine and linseed oil mixture.
Leather has antique finish. It is toned using saddle tan leather dye and polished using carnauba palm leaf wax and beeswax. Sheath is hand stitched with 4 ply linen thread using traditional double saddle stitch.
Ornament on the handle and the sheath is taken from Baltic folklore. It is a sign of Martin. Ir symbolises fertility. As the knife and the sheath is also a symbol of male and female, when they are close together the fertility is the result.
Overall length: 8.4" (215mm)
Handle length: 4.7" (120mm)
Blade length: 3.7" (95mm)
Blade width: 1" (25mm)
Hardness: 63 HRC
