Description
Blade made of so-called pattern-welded Damascus steel. Such blades are created by repeatedly forge-welding a billet of steels with varying carbon content. This process results in blades with a characteristic pattern. They are not corrosion-resistant. This blade comes from Lahore in Punjab (Pakistan). Full hollow grind. The handle will have to be a push-tang installation using glue - the tang is thin enough near the end that drilling holes for bolts is not quite feasible. Forged, sharpened, 58-61 HRC.
Blade length: 104 mm
Blade width (max.): 22 mm
Blade thickness (max.): 3 mm
Tang length: 94 mm
Manufacturer: Khan Cutlery, Lahore, Pakistan
