More than 100 years later, a new lineup is being manufactured, reviving the old tradition. The long tradition of high class Damascus knives continues with the new edition of straight razors. At the same time, RockBlade is setting a new technical standard. Thus far, almost no one has dared to produce a Damascus straight razor with more than 180 layers. In the standard forging process, there is a great risk that different layers of steel are exposed at the very fine edge of the blade, thus creating a "micro saw" on the cutting edge. Our Damascus forgers have solved this problem and are forging the RockBlade’s Damascus blades with more than 300 layers of high quality carbon steels. The blade steel guarantees a very high hardness without the danger of chipping. This piece is a must-have for any collector.

RockBlade Knives has defined a level of elegance that hinges on the palette of materials and techniques that we bring to bear on each piece we create. Our work is limited only by our imaginations, and we continue to push that envelope outward with every new style we offer. We source materials from around the world, testing and developing each for our specific applications; they must both serve both the aesthetics and function of the piece. One without the other is a failure of our vision. Superlative function, elevated to superlative art, is achieved by working with materials that are tough enough for daily use and exotic enough to surprise even the most jaded collector. My Firm works with some of the finest artisans in the world to build each piece, and a typical knife requires more than Sixteen Weeks from concept to completion. The integration of various traditions, materials and technologies allow me to create cutlery that is elegant, distinctive and without peer in performance. Pattern welding, commonly known as "Damascus" is a process that involves heat, sweat, time and skill. There are numerous bladesmiths today that are unable to master its intricacies and subtleties, but it is not "impossible" to do. The pattern welding process involves an intimate knowledge of forge practice and a great deal of skill in order to get precise, beautiful and breathtaking patterns in the steel. Attention to detail, working techniques and material selection are all important pieces in the pattern welding puzzle. A properly forged pattern welded blade is a thing of beauty and deadly purpose. Legendary in its ability to cut and "stay together", these blades are the ultimate test of the bladesmith's art. We are proud to present what have been called the "finest pattern welded blades available today". Each blade is forged, welded and patterned by hand, and our patterns are precise and exacting. Unlike the so called "Random" laminated material offered elsewhere we look at this steel as raw material. The place where others leave off we actually consider a starting point! The patterns we offer are varied and range from the simple, yet elegant to the intricate and mind blowing. There are literally no limits as to what can be done in steel. The patterns shwon here are but a sample, and some of these patterns haven't been done an... read more
