The Damascus Blade
The 12-inch blade is hand-forged from alternating layers of 1095HC high-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel, building a 384-layer Damascus billet with a bold flowing pattern across the full blade length. Oil tempered to 58–60 HRC and hand-sharpened to a precise 20-degree edge. The full-sized Kukri profile on a 12-inch blade gives this knife a commanding presence.
