Take 10% off for corrosion on brass. I cleaned and oiled but it will needs more work or maybe to be buffed out.

Comments: Well made, rugged - great materials and craftsmanship. Recommended! The manufacturer is discontinuing this particular blade profile in favor of more popular ones, so be advised. As in, if you like it, buy it now! I'm a collector and a weekend warrior, with a store front and active in local Renaissance Fairs. I sell what I own and can recommend!

Manufacturer's Description - Product Details:
• All our Damascus knives have at least 266 layers during the forging process, with many of them surpassing that mark by several layers. 
• We use genuine brass in our bolsters, guards, and inlays. We do not use brass plated steel.
• Our Damascus knives and swords are available with a variety of tangs (i.e. full or encapsulated tangs).
• We currently use two combinations of steel in the forging process of our Damascus blades. Some blades will use a blending of 1074 high carbon steel and WS1 mild steel, while others use a combination of 1085 high carbon steel and 15N20 bright steel. 
• All our Damascus blades are Rockwell tested to 58, or higher. This determines the durability of the blade and its ability to hold a fine edge.
• The Damascus knives, swords, and blanks are subject to an “acid wash” that helps accentuate the contrast between the types of steel used in the forging of the blades. Because the tang will typically be covered by whatever handle material is used, that part of the blade is generally not subject to the acid treatment. However, the pattern of the contrasting steels that is characteristic of Damascus blades will still be visible when inspected closely.
