Damascus style blade (I hesitate to call this Damsacus at this price but there are "ripples" if you run your finger nail over it). With leather sheath. £40 including shipping. 4 only available. No, you don't get the coin!

"Exsqueeze us, oomans, we wants to say summat "
True "Damascus steel" was actually a microalloyed crucible steel made in the India, Sri Lanka (nee Ceylon) and areas around what is now Afghanistan. It was very hard but also very tough: it could take a sharp edge and resisted chipping very well. It was traded along the Silk road to the Middle East as ingots and then forged into swords in Damascus and used by the Saracens against the crusaders. 'Twas good stuff.
Knives and swords sold sold as "Damascus steel" nowadays are usually pattern welded steel, i.e they are two or more different steels, one hard and one tough, welded together to combine the best properties of both. The vikingyr were experts at this and their swords could put both the Damascus and Samurai swordsmiths to shame. Proper sharp and awesome toughness. This kutter looks to us to be a pattern welded blade in the Vikingyr style and so, if well made, a truly awesome blade.
*Note. You don't have to take our word for it, we only studied sword metallurgy for a PhD. You could refer to t'interweb instead...
