mosaic damascus: Krot 2 full tang
Description
Mosaic blade, forged, from a carbon steel package (M76T, ШХ15, 50А) with nickel added. The unique pattern is obtained by forging the package with nickel strips between the package components. This is a very laborious technology requiring the highest blacksmithing skills, allowing to obtain blades with very high performance parameters (blade hardness on the edge 58-60 HRC) and completely unique aesthetic values.
This blade comes from a series made to a private order. The blade and tang are made from the same package forged into a mosaic, which significantly increases the final product price. Usually, the tang is welded from a piece of ordinary steel. This time the client ordered the whole thing from a mosaic – the tang liners were to be made of transparent acrylic.
Blade in raw state (unsharpened). High concave grind.
Blade length: 100 mm
Blade width (max.): 26 mm
