Damascus steel is the stuff of ancient legend. Treasured by mighty warriors and made using a secret technique, Damascus steel was famed for its sharpness and durability, and was known to slice gun barrels in half and separate single strands of hair in two. The secretive, ancient forging technique mixed different steel alloys to form a supersteel, creating a rippled, wavy texture, which made Damascus steel instantly recognizable.
Can you handle such a blade? You definitely can, because the modern Damascus steel of the Saga Blade, complete with the signature rippled texture, unfolds from a striking Pakkawood handle. Pakkawood takes it strength from combining wood with other strength-magnifying materials to create a powerful and near-waterproof product. This mix of two masterful techniques is enhanced by engraved stainless steel at the bolster and handle end, delivering a Saga Blade worthy of the name for an epic price.
