Small Viking Knife with Damascus Steel Blade and Wooden Handle, based on a find from Gotland

The knife is modeled after an archaeological find from Hellvi (island of Gotland, Sweden) dated to the 9th/10th century. The original piece is now on display at the Historical Museum (Historiska Museet) in Stockholm.

Please note that, as the blade is sharp and fully functional, this Gotland knife is designed as a collector's or decoration piece and not suited for combat re-enactment!

* The terms Damascus steel, damascene or pattern welded designate a compound steel forged out of two or more different types of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, a former stronghold of the patterned steel production. As a common practice, a harder high carbon steel and a milder low carbon steel are repeatedly forge welded and folded together. The high carbon steel ensures a higher hardness, a better temperability and longer lasting edge retention, whereas the milder steel confers greater blade flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which arose in a time where steel qualities were often low and inconsistent, enables to combine the positive attributes of the various steel grades. Besides, the different shadings generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers engender strikingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called Torsion Damascus pattern or the Rose Damascus pattern. Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why inherent magical properties were attributed to the Damascus steel blades of the Middle Ages.
