TACTICAL GEARZ Damascus Pocket Knife for EDC! Titanium Handle! 67 Layer Damascus Steel Tanto Blade! Includes Sheath! (Onyx XT Midnight)

Our knives feature real layered/forged Damascus steel, which is used to achieve our beautiful designs and patterns. Damascus steel is a type of steel that exhibits a unique wavy surface pattern, created through a process of hammer-welding strips of steel and iron, followed by repeated heating and forging. This technique results in a multi-layered steel blade with a range of creative designs.

While Damascus steel is not a specific steel grade, it is a process that is used to create a stunning, multi-layered steel blade with captivating designs. The number of layers can vary greatly, from a couple to over a hundred, each producing a distinct style and outcome. Despite the potential for thousands of different results, the fundamental process of creating Damascus steel remains essentially the same.

The Damascus steel layering process involves heating, welding, and forging various types of steel, typically a combination of high-carbon steel and stainless steel. Steel fragments or a cluster of different steel types are forged between the layers, resulting in unique patterns on the blade's surface. After the forging process, an acid wash is applied, which reacts with the variations in the high-carbon steel, further enhancing the distinct blade patterns.

The versatility of techniques and steel materials used in creating Damascus steel is what makes it so unique and popular among consumers. Our featured knife, for example, boasts a 67-layer Damascus steel blade with a VG10 core, offering both beauty and functionality.

The knife's features include: - Solid Tc4 titanium handle, with a weight of only 3.3oz, providing full titanium strength. - 67-layer Damascus steel blade with a VG10 core, delivering a hardness of 60-62 HRC and a blade thickness of 0.14". - Tanto edge blade shape. - Frame lock and belt clip for secure and convenient carry. - Includes a custom gift box and nylon storage sheath.

In summary, our knives utilize the captivating and intricate process of Damascus steel forging to create stunning, multi-layered blades that are both visually appealing and highly functional. The combination of the solid titanium handle and the high-performance Damascus steel blade with a VG10 core makes this knife an excellent choice for everyday carry.
