Damascus steel is made from different types of steel. A complex process in which several metal blocks are fused together to combine hardness with pliability and sharpness with flexibility. Only a final etching makes the respective pattern visible. In this model of the COLLECTION series, formerly listed as LUXE, non-stainless carbon damascus is offered in a PLEIN MANCHE handle finish.
Full tang, in other words, which shows off the grained juniper wood to its best advantage without visual foreshortening by metal bolsters. Weight-wise, such a pocket knife becomes lighter, requiring precise finishing of the end pieces, but should not be dropped on a hard surface. Another delicacy in this specimen is the DOUBLE PLATINES, worked by hand with file and awl, with two brass strips on the back of the handle. A folding knife requires a metal plate, namely the sinker, to hold the handle scales in place. It is considered a French specialty to chisel guillochage all the way to the back of the blade in the finest goldsmith's manner, in order to demonstrate the dexterity of the master craftsman in question. For only such a master may produce models of the COLLECTION from start to finish.
The vivid sprouts of the juniper wood are adorned by a shepherd's cross made of metal pins. And now you may fall on your knees. After all, the Christian religious practice receives a certain degree of mobility. You will have to borrow the shepherd's crook to stand up again elsewhere. Incidentally, this was already an Egyptian insignia of rulership before Christ. And not an indication of cross pain.
