Nashira
Product Description
Damascus steel first appeared two thousand years ago, giving it its reputation for being the steel of the ancients. It it believed to have come from India and then migrated to Syria, eventually gaining popularity in Europe. It has been revered as the best steel since then, as it was used for Alexander the Great’s sword and was a favorite of Aristotle. Although it was previously popular, it gained its reputation during the Crusades. It was described to have cut other swords in half. Not only has Damascus steel been sought after for its strength, but also its beauty and quality.
The process of creating a Damascus knife is a unique one that requires hard work and patience. It is produced using a technique called pattern welding and involves folding together many layers of metal and then welding them together. Most knives will have over 500 layers when finished. This contributes to the beautiful pattern but also the unique strength and flexibility seen in pieces like this Nashira.
