Description

This handle is made from Damascus Steel, which technology only recently made available in a form that may be worked on a lathe.  Traditional Damascus Steel is a type of steel alloy that is both hard and flexible, a combination that made it ideal for the building of swords. It is said that when Damascus-made swords were first encountered by Ottomans during the Crusades, it garnered an almost mythical reputation—a Damascus steel blade was said to be able to cut a piece of silk in half as it fell to the ground, as well as being able to chop through normal blades, or even rock, without losing its sharp edge.

This razor handle is 3.25 inches long and weighs 1.6 ounces.
