The Damascus Kenshar

Sold out!
Strongly reminiscent the ancient Persians  famous scimitars, this hand-forged Damascus long knife evokes images of Aladdin, Sinbad and Ali Baba. Custom touches make this hand-made knife a showpiece: nicely figured wood handle with traditional Persian style grip, brass pins, spacers and guard, and black, red and green laminated wood inserts. The upswept blade has over 260 layers of alternating 1084 high carbon and WSI mild steels (Rockwells at 52-58). The leather sheath has been given a slightly aged, well traveled  finish and makes this beauty look like it has tales to tell. Weighing a little over a pound, it has a nice heft and feel.
