This originally inspired Damascus steel tribal knife has been folded 300-350 times creating 176 layers giving the blade its forged Damascus style. The blade has been tempered to about 54-55 and packaged in oil to prevent rusting and prolong the life of the blade. The full tang construction extended the length of the handle for heavy duty and extreme use. The handle was created from carved Buffalo horn featuring steel inserts and a Damascus steel bolster.  This knife is paired with genuine leather sheath with belt loop that can with stand harsh elements to insure the protection of your blade.
