Steel & Hardness
Blade steel: Damascus Steel
Hardness: 58 to 62 HRC (Rockwell scale)

Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.
Personalisation & Engraving
Make it truly yours — we can engrave a name, date, monogram, or graphic on most of our blades using a 50-watt fiber laser for crisp, permanent detail.
Simply send us your engraving details by email after placing your order and we'll take care of the rest.
Shipping & Returns
Every order ships tracked across Canada and the USA, with free shipping on orders over $150. In-stock pieces leave the forge within a few business days; made-to-order pieces take a little longer, and we'll keep you posted along the way.
If something isn't right when it arrives, reach out to our team — we review every return request with care and will always work with you to make it right.

About this piece
Five Damascus blades — one finished with a hand-hammered texture — set in dark wenge-style handles banded with a striking blue resin inlay.
The deep brown-black wood grain plays against the cool blue accent band for a set that reads modern without losing its handmade character. Rolled in a stitched leather carry case for storage or gifting.
Every piece leaves the forge ready for a lifetime of use — our Knife Care guide covers the few simple habits that keep a hand-forged edge that way.
01 — Forged
Shaped at the anvil
Bar stock is heated and hammered to shape by hand — every bevel drawn out at the anvil, never stamped from a sheet.
02 — Tempered
Hardened true
Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.
03 — Finished
Fitted & inspected
Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
