Northern Damascus

An expressive Yakut knife in the traditional form. Damascus steel, natural wood and the characteristic Yakut profile make this knife as striking to look at as it is practical to work with. The layered Damascus blade carries a pattern that is never repeated twice, and the Karelian birch handle warms in the hand as you work. Damascus is a carbon steel: keep it dry and lightly oiled and it will serve for decades.
