Viking knife Odins raven, damascus steel, semi-sharp

Product description

The high quality Viking knife is inspired by original Viking knives. It features a distinctive wooden grip with a bone ring. The bone ring bears an image of Huginn and Muninn, the ravens of Odin. According to Norse mythology, they flew around Asgard and Midgard all day and returned in the evening to report to Odin everything they had seen. The top and bottom of the grip are decorated with red and brass round plates, which lends the knife a highly luxurious effect. The top of the knife has a brass ring with a black ribbon. The blade is crafted from Damascus steel. This steel is named after the capital of Syria, Damascus, where the steel was invented. Damascus steel is a type of steel composed of two or more different steel types. A higher carbon steel and a milder steel are repeatedly forged and folded. This creates a special pattern in the blade. In the Middle Ages it was thought that this steel had magical properties. Modern fantasy series also employ Damascus steel to portray magical steels, such as the Valyrian steel in Game of Thrones. Damascus steel combines the good properties of softer and harder steel, resulting in higher hardness, strength, durability and flexibility. The leather scabbard is richly decorated with brass fittings. The fittings have small triangular and round decorative motifs. It has a ring so that it may be tied to the belt with a lace. The knife is sharp and well-suited to practical use such as cutting wood, leather and other materials.
