Damascus Lockback Bone Turquoise

Product detailed description

Damascus knives are traditional knives with a distinctive and beautiful pattern on the blades, which is created thanks to the technique of layering different types of steel.
Pakistan is a well-known producer of damascus knives, which are often sought after, especially by collectors, due to their affordability and their exotic appearance and historical significance.
Damascus blades, made from laminated steels, are heat treated and then usually acid etched to create a distinctive pattern.
This pattern can take different variations such as winding, spirals or waves. Their appearance strikes everyone as very attractive and unique, making damascus knives popular among all knife lovers.
Pakistani damascus knives are often handmade by local traditional blacksmiths who have a lot of experience in steel working, most often made in the cities of Wazirabad or Sialkot, which are famous for their knife making tradition.
They are characterised by distinctive handles made of different materials such as wood, horn or bone, decorated with cut-outs, engraving or forging. The shape of the handle and other details may also be inspired by traditional knives from Southeast Asia, such as karambit or pukkur.
