Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Knife ~ FINE WOOD HANDLE FITTED WITH BRASS PINS ~ Get your HANDS on it About RockBlade ... 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. T 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 elsew we look at this steel as raw material. The place w 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. T are literally no limits as to what can be done in steel. The patterns shwon are but a sample, and some of these patterns haven't been done anyw else as yet..Some of these patterns I have devlouped over the years, some are traditional, all are beautiful. We are also proud that we can offer traditionally welded "Viking" and/or Germanic/European style composite blades using various two, three and four cored construction with steeled edges in rather complex and striking patterns. T are a handful of people alive today that are able to make these...and frankly I showed many of them how.... Blade Material ... The materials that we use are mostly an all tool steel mix, but we have in the past, and still do on a regaulr basis use other iron/steels as well as pure nickle and meteoric iron. Traditionally the materials employed were steel and iron, twith the only differences being the carbon and phosphorous content, along with a few other trace elements as well. While this was accpetable 500 to 1000 years ago, in today's world, t are better choices. All blades are 100% hand forged from 1095, 1060, 5160, 1095 Electrite, L-6, 9260 and a few other steels, depending upon use and design. We use no recycled ... read more
