Jungle Blood Raptor - 6in (150mm) Damascus Petty Culinary Knife

"Jungle Blood Raptor” 6in (150mm) Damascus petty knife. This exotic petty is doused toward the blade with a flood of crimson blood red resin. The blood resin transitions to a foggy green, as if traversing a densely covered forest or jungle. The green gives way toward the butt of the knife to a clear resin, tinted with effervescent streaks of green and a ferocious black raptor skull chopping its way through the foliage and into the present.

The blade is made from VG10 core hardened to 60 HRC. Multiple layers of stainless are forged on both sides of the blade that protect the core and result in the damascus layer pattern. VG10 is a high hardness stainless that doesn’t require the maintenance or care of a carbon steel. VG10 blades should be sharpened with a water stone, synthetic stone, or diamond. Do not use a honing steel on this blade. The edge angle is sharpened to 17 degrees and then stropped to a super sharp finish. The blade is 6” (150 mm) long, with a convex surface grind.⠀
