Osso is forged from canister Damascus! Essentially, I put a couple of chainsaw chains into a steel canister, then packed the gaps with 1095 high carbon steel powder. Then the billet was heated to preposterously high temperatures (around 2,500F) and forge welded into one homogeneous piece of strong high carbon steel.
My blades have soul to them, They are entirely hand crafted, and unique. You won't be able to match the quality, performance and passion of these knives with anything store bought. They are heirloom quality, extremely effective tools.
The handle is carefully sculpted to fit the intricate complexities of the human hand. I have sculpted 2,000+ handles thus far, and have refined grip ergonomics to an art. They are incredibly comfortable. It has some light depth texturing carved into it for grip and style.
I harden my knives using a computer controlled kiln. Using this tool allows me to get maximum edge retention out of a given piece/type of steel.
Each blade I sell has a my lifetime warranty, covering reasonable uses. With proper care, one of my blades could last multiple generations.
Victory through fire and steel!
