The Damascus Dynasty Series
Meet the culmination of our passion for knives and the art of cooking. Designed to reflect centuries of knife design and paired with cutting-edge forging techniques, our flagship series features spectacularly sharp blades composed of Damascus 67-layer AUS-10V Japanese Steel. Adorned with a mosaic pin of brass and copper, the Damascus Dynasty Series’ military-aircraft-grade G10 handles provide unparalleled strength and reliability in a handle that will not oxidize or soften over time.
Blade Features
Intricately crafted from 67-Layers of AUS-10V Japanese Steel, Damascus knives produce a blade which retains its edge and sharpness better than any other. These blades are vacuum furnace heat treated and nitrogen cooled which greatly enhances the blade’s performance with the best possible wear resistance and durability, while minimizing the chance of chips occurring under heavy stress. The steel has a Rockwell Hardness (HRC) of 62+ for maximum strength, flexibility, and blade edge durability. Each blade is hand sharpened to a perfect 16-degree angle per side.
