For this year's Damast Annual Knife we collaborate for the first time with Ricardo Romano Bernandes. Romano, whose family originates from Sicily, was born in Brazil, has been a knife maker since 1990 and his craft is part of a tradition of knife making and sharpening established over several generations. His design is based on traditional Pen Knives and immediately inspired us with its casual freshness.
For the modern interpretation of a traditional knife shape, the powder metallurgical damask of the Swedish company Damasteel seemed to us the appropriate material for the blade. Damasteel's production requires - even if the most modern technical means are used - just as much skill and experience as the hand-forging of steel. The purity and properties of Damasteel steel can be optimised to the extreme with complex combination processes.
The self-supporting structure in blue and grey rolled G10 contrasts beautifully with Damasteel's 'Odin Eye' motif. The simple but always functional slip joint is an obligatory part of this knife. The size, weight, indestructible G10 sheaths and stainless Damasteel make this collector's knife an excellent EDC. Limited to 999 examples worldwide.
