Victorinox 1.3701.J11 - Climber Damascus Limited Edition 2011 12 Multi-utility Knife  (Grey)

When beauty and function come together, the result is something truly exceptional. A knife with true spirit and character! Damascus steel – the fine steel of the swordsmith The production of the Damascus Limited Edition 2011 is restricted to only 4000 pieces. Damascus steel represents craftsmanship that goes back more than a thousand years. Even in antiquity, a few resourceful sword-smiths knew how to create blades of unusual toughness and hardness from different kinds of steel. The multiple folding and forge welding led to a homogenization of the material, and required a great deal of skill and dedication. Then as now, the crowning highlight in the production of a Damascus blade was the finish. With careful grinding, polishing and etching the unique and characteristic patterns are reveled, thereby providing a glimpse into the soul of the steel. (The blade of this knife is manufactured from stainless high quality Damascus steel, 60 HRc).
