This is a great little knife, especially for people that appreciate the authentic handmade look and want a knife that can be easily tucked away for hunting, fishing, camping, self defense, EDC. Compact enough to be carried in boot, pocket or on belt, Encapsulated leather sheath holds knife securely but makes it immediately accessible. Plus a great little utility knife for Ren Fair and Re-enactors. Also a stainless steel version available, item #: 225894568405
Comments: The materials and craftsmanship of these knives is very good and this is the best of the mini knives imho. I only ordered a few of each style initially so I could evaluate, but these are so nice I plan to carry them all in both stainless and Damascus. I’m a collector, a re-enactor and a weekend warrior, active in my local SCA group and Renaissance Fairs so I get lots of feedback. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast.

• All our Damascus knives have at least 266 layers during the forging process, with many of them surpassing that mark by several layers.
• Our handles are genuine bone, horn, or stag antler. Some also feature walnut, olivewood or rosewood handles. We do not use resin to make the handles for any of our Damascus product line.
• We use genuine brass in our bolsters, guards, and inlays. We do not use brass plated steel.
• Our Damascus knives and swords are true full tang.
• 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 between 52 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 “swirl pattern” of the contrasting steels that is characteristic of Damascus blades will still be visible when inspected closely.
