Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these knives is excellent . I expect you’ll be very pleased, especially at this price. Good construction, tough, solid, and very sharp where the difference in materials seems to create a infinitesimal serrated edge - you can feel it but not see it. Remarkable cutting and thrusting ability. The natural materials, beautiful patterned steel (a technique that can be traced as far back as 4th C Vikings) and thick genuine leather sheath make this a favorite. I’m a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local Re-enactment group and at Renaissance Fairs, so I get lots of feedback. I sell what I own and can recommend! All photo are mine and I try to show you details that are overlooked in manufacturer’s stock photos, and that most sellers seem oblivious to. Plus I ship fast!

Manufacturer's Description - Product Details: • All our Damascus knives have at least 266 layers during the forging process, with many of them surpassing that mark by several layers. • Our handles are genuine bone, horn, or stag antler. Some also feature walnut or rosewood handles. We do not use resin to make the handles for any of our Damascus product line. • We use genuine brass in our bolsters, guards, and inlays. We do not use brass plated steel. • Our Damascus knives and swords are available with a variety of tangs (i.e. full or encapsulated tangs). • We currently use two combinations of steel in the forging process of our Damascus blades. Some blades will use a blending of 1074 high carbon steel and WS1 mild steel, while others use a combination of 1085 high carbon steel and 15N20 bright steel. • All our Damascus blades are Rockwell tested between 52 to 58, or higher. This determines the durability of the blade and its ability to hold a fine edge. • The Damascus knives, swords, and blanks are subject to an “acid wash” that helps accentuate the contrast between the types of steel used in the forging of the blades. Because the tang will typically be covered by whatever handle material is used, that part of the blade is generally not subject to the acid treatment. However, the “swirl pattern” of the contrasting steels that is characteristic of Damascus blades will still be visible when inspected closely.

An abbreviated history of the dagger :)

Daggers (re-)appear in the Late Middle Ages (c. 1120), in large part due in improvements in armor and evolving methods of warfare. Previous to that hewing knives like the messer and seaxe had been predominant. In the 12th century the 'knightly dagger’, or more properly, cross-hilt or quillon dagger was an essential part of the Chivalric armament . A number of depictions of the fully developed cross-hilt dagger are found in the Morgan Bible (c. 1240) By the late Medieval period the dagger saw widespread use as a more common sidearm for men at arms, archers as well as civilian use for personal protection. 

During this time, the dagger was often employed in the role of a secondary defense weapon in close combat. In the 14th century, it wasn't uncommon for knights to fight on foot to strengthen the infantry defensive line which necessitated in greater use of the dagger. At Agincourt (c. 1415) archers used them to dispatch dismounted knights by thrusting the narrow blades through helmet vents and other apertures. One style, called the baselard became popular as a civilian weapon as well as a fashion accessory and status symbol.

The cross-hilt type persisted well into the Renaissance with parry and off-hand daggers used with rapiers. In the modern era designs like the V-42 stilleto were used extensively in many Special Forces branches as the primary fighting knife during WWII.
