Some of the many Damascus steel advantages include the following: Blade edge resistance from the harder steel, micro serrations from the alternating layers, ductility from the 15N20.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Store in a dry environment and NOT in the sheath for a long period of time to prevent rust.
