Up for sale is a ladder Damascus kitchen knife in the 90-100 layer range. The composition is 52100 and pure nickel. The idea was to create a Damascus cutting edge that will wears at different rates and still provides a decent slicing cut over time hence the use of soft nickel and hard 52100. The blade shape and handle are Japanese themed. The blade features a flat ground bevel, and an etched and coffee darkened finish. The bolster is made of brass and is silver (lead free) soldered to the blade. The bolster is also right around where the balance point is. The beefy octagonal handle is made from African Blackwood and is secured with epoxy and a brass pin. This piece ships in a knife case.
