There is not another knife like this in the world--and it is part of a limited edition of 30 pieces!  What makes it so special?  The blade is made with steel from the Battleship North Carolina and the handle is made with the Battleship's teak from the deck.  Now, for the details. The blade: Crafted of three layers of steel using the Sanmi process, the 6-inch blade showcases steel taken from the hull of the Battleship North Carolina on both outside surfaces, with a carbon core between. The process delivers a look similar to Damascus steel but enables the Ship's steel to be on full display, highlighting its own distinguishable pattern with alloy banding. Handle: Sourced from the deck of the Battleship, the teak composing the 5 1/2 inch handle has been sand-blasted to bring out the grain, creating a weathered look evocative of the Ship's original period. This knife is hand forged from knifesmith Steve Watkins of Iron Man Forge and comes with a hand made leather sheath. This collectible is an opportunity to own one of a limited run of bespoke knives made of and for the Battleship North Carolina. It offers a piece of American military history in a unique form that can be treasured and shared through the years. Each piece is unique, one of a kind, and is heirloom quality. This is for the 2020 Limited Edition of 30 knives and they come with a Certificate of Authenticity and Care Instructions.
