From the series DAMAS STEEL of the EXCLUSIVE SERIES of GÜDE a carving knife.
Wild Damascus? It is also available vertically, not only horizontally.
In over 300 layers, an elastic soft steel is forged by hand with an extremely hard steel for up to two days to create a blade of the highest quality. After another 50 operations, this Damascus steel knife is then also fixed and ready. Much too profanely expressed: Finished I want to say.
A double bolster guarantees a balanced feel for the cutting delicacy in the hand. You will recognize the swaged steel in the transition from blade to hilt, also called "boot crop" because of its appearance. At the end of the handle the counterweight resembling a pommel.
What material would be equal to this blade?
GÜDE's choice is desert ironwood, up to 1500 years old. Hard, dense, heavy, it is one of the most extraordinary handle woods in the world. In the Sonoran Desert, desert ironwood is one of the longest-lived trees. The desert is mostly located in Mexico, where preferred co-inhabitants reptiles and cacti share living space. If water is ever found there, the exclusive wood sinks without a sound due to its density and heaviness. So building buoys with it is not advisable.
What happened around 500 AD? The Mediterranean area was already 80% Christian.
