 WHAT’S INCLUDED

2x Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Blank Blades
Blade 1 : Drop Point Profile
Blade 2 : Clip Point Profile
Both blanks include full exposed tang for handle fitting
Damascus pattern runs across FULL blank — blade + tang

 THE BLADES

Both blanks are individually hand-forged from genuine Damascus steel using the traditional layer-folding method combining 1095 & 15N20 high-carbon steels. The result is a mesmerizing ladder / oval / bubble Damascus pattern that covers the entire surface of both the blade and tang — a mark of true craftsmanship rarely seen on blank blades.

The bevels are ground and polished along the cutting edge, with the spine and tang left in natural forge finish — ready for handle scales to be fitted, pinned, or glued by the builder.
