The handle is made of shisham wood. At the end of the handle there is a hole for an aiguillette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terms \u003ci\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003epattern welded\u003c\/i\u003e refer to a composite steel forged from two or more different types of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, an ancient stronghold of patterned steel production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs common practice, a harder high-carbon steel and a softer low-carbon steel are welded and repeatedly folded. The high-carbon steel ensures greater hardness, better temperability, and greater edge retention, while the softer steel provides greater blade flexibility and tensile strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis procedure, which emerged at a time when steel qualities were often low and inconsistent, allows combining the positive attributes of different steel qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the different shadings generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers engender surprisingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called \u003ci\u003etwist Damascus\u003c\/i\u003e pattern or the \u003ci\u003erose Damascus\u003c\/i\u003e pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why inherent magical properties were attributed to Damascus steel blades in the Middle Ages. Such a damascened sword is for example depicted as a bloody worm or a venomous snake in the \u003ci\u003eEdda.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Handle: shisham wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Overall length: approx. 16.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Blade length: approx. 7.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Includes leather sheath\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BTT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63810280915293,"sku":"397004501","price":45.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/1500\/9373\/files\/cuchillo-con-hoja-de-acero-de-damasco-0397004501-espadasymas.jpg?v=1773246885","url":"https:\/\/supervivenciaextrema.com\/en-int\/products\/cuchillo-con-hoja-de-acero-de-damasco-0397004501","provider":"SupervivenciaExtrema","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
