Steel Lockback Knives
Damascus steel combines steels of different properties to produce blades of extraordinary toughness and edge holding ability.

Viewed under a microscope, the blade displays tiny saw-tooth carbides that are formed when coal fire forged, enabling it to cut even when it feels dull to the touch.
