This knife has a Damascus steel blade, made from a chunk left over from another project. Made with a Caribou antler handle, leather insets, and a stainless steel butt cap and guard, overall the knife is 6", the blade is just under 5". (The coin pictured with the knife for scale is a steel penny, made during WWII when copper was being used for things besides money.)

"Damascus" steel may have been developed by the Celts or in early Sweden, but got its name during the 1400s and 1500s because so much high quality steel of the type was made in Damascus.
