288-Layer Raindrop Damascus

The raindrop Damascus pattern is created by pressing a series of rounded indentations into the Damascus billet before the final forging, producing a flowing, circular pattern that resembles raindrops on water. At 288 layers, the pattern is exceptionally fine and detailed. The raindrop pattern is one of the most visually striking Damascus designs — dynamic, organic, and completely unique on every blade.

Full Tang Handle – Rosewood, Copper, Resin & Brass

The full tang construction means the steel runs the complete length of the handle, providing maximum strength and balance. The handle combines four premium materials: rosewood for warmth and natural beauty, a copper spacer for visual contrast, resin for durability and color, and brass for a premium finish. The combination creates a handle that is as visually impressive as the Damascus blade.
