What ANGLE do I use to grind the SWEDGE? There’s no fixed number. I adjust it according to the thickness, design, and proportions of each blade.

Shine, contrast, and protection for Damascus steel. The ceramic coating remains in the lower areas of the pattern, helping preserve its appearance even when the knife is used.

10” Sabatier in 7-bar Turkish Damascus, made in Brazil

I recently finished this Sabatier and thought I’d share it here.

The blade is 10” long, 52 mm tall, and 2 mm thick at the spine, made from 7-bar Turkish Damascus in 15N20/1084. The carbon steel also has a ceramic coating.

The handle is ivory, with gold pins and a gold signature.

Made here in Brazil.
