Details
Exceptional 320-layer Damascus steel from the armor of the German battleship Tirpitz
This non-stainless high alloy steel was recovered from the capsized Tirpitz by a Norwegian and German company. It is used for scientific purposes as well as for space travel.
The full tang has a full thickness across the width of the blade, giving this knife exceptional stability.
The balanced handle has an excellent grip, even when cold or wearing gloves.
The supports are stainless steel and the handle itself is stabilized maple root wood.
Under extreme pressure, the material is soaked in synthetic resin and hardened to stabilize the wood. By sealing the pores and cell spaces, the synthetic resin reduces the swelling and shrinking of the wood.
