This is not Damascus steel, it is steel that has been blistered at high heat for an extended period of time. The guards and pommels are forged iron, pecan handles

I like that cast brass or cast bronze art nouveau lamp base.

But can you play "Leader of the Pack" with them?

Omg! "The Bleeder of the Pack!" By Blitered Sisters

That's cool. How does one blister steel?
TrentonTye
When heat treating a knife, instead of quickly heating and then quenching, the steel is over cooked and oxidation is allowed to occur
DontusetheMword
Wouldn't that end up making the knife more brittle after you quench it? I've never forged a knife myself, just read a couple things about it
TrentonTye
There can be some decarburization of the skin but its not an issue in a knife like this. You may be thinking of grain structure.
DontusetheMword
Maybe. Could you use this technique with a bushcraft knife? Something that would take some heavy use?
TrentonTye
Sure, we do something similar on our trade knives.
