Damascus Steel Through the Ages
Damascus steel, named after the Syrian city of Damascus, was shrouded in myth during the Middle Ages. Legends told of blades that could slice a silk scarf in mid-air or cut through enemy armor. While the original secret of wootz steel was lost, modern pattern-welding techniques allow for the creation of knives that often surpass historical originals in performance. The sandalwood used for the handle has been valued throughout history as much as precious metals for its scent and durability, often used for ritual objects in India and Southeast Asia.
Maintenance Guide and Safety
To ensure this knife serves you for decades, give it some basic care:
- Wood and Water: Although sandalwood is durable, never leave the knife submerged in water. After use in wet conditions, wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
- Blade Care: The blade is stainless, but to maintain its luster and highlight the Damascus pattern, it is recommended to occasionally rub it with a drop of fine mineral oil.
- Sharpening: Use high-quality whetstones or sharpening systems to maintain the correct edge angle. Avoid cheap pull-through sharpeners that could damage the Damascus structure.
- Safety: The knife has a very sharp blade and is intended for cutting, not prying or chopping. When opening and closing, ensure your fingers are clear of the blade's path. Always verify that the lock has fully engaged.
- What to Avoid: Never wash the knife in a dishwasher – aggressive chemicals and high heat would irreversibly damage the sandalwood handles and the internal mechanics.
This knife forms a perfect set with a high-quality leather belt pouch, which protects its surface from scratches. We also recommend a professional sharpening kit to keep its razor-sharp edge in top condition.
