Description
A Kris hunting Knife is a distinctive and ornate blade originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. It is characterized by a wavy or serpentine blade with a deep, pronounced curve that creates a series of peaks and valleys along the cutting edge.
Damascus is a mixture of 1095 and 15N20, they are heated and then folded over and over to get the desired layers. The blade is burned in acid and it turns the layers into different colors. The layering process also results in a blade that is harder and durable than a single type of steel.
A bone Handle is an exotic, ethically sourced material crafted from polished bone, providing a distinctive, smooth texture and an elegant, intricate appearance.
The fire pattern in this Damascus steel is a striking representation of the power and intensity of flames. The bold, sweeping lines blaze across the surface of the steel, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. Each line is sharp and distinct, like a flickering flame frozen in time. The colors of the pattern range from deep oranges to bright yellows, creating a warm and inviting aesthetic. The fire pattern adds depth and character to the steel, giving it a unique and captivating look that is both modern and timeless.
