mosaic damascus: Gosudar 1
Description
Mosaic damascus blade, forged from a package of carbon steels (M76T, ШХ15, 50А) with nickel added. Suitable for a dagger and (due to its large size) spear points. Double concave grind with bilateral symmetry. The unique pattern is obtained by forging a package with nickel strips between the package components. This is a very laborious technology requiring the highest smithing skills, allowing for blades with very high performance parameters (blade hardness on the edge 58-60 HRC) and completely unique aesthetic qualities.
Blade in raw state (unsharpened).
