Swiss Dagger Twisted Damascus Limited-Following the tradition of the European Damascus sword and smithing art of the Middle Ages the Boker manufacturing plant in Solingen Germany is proud to present the Swiss Dagger as an exclusive collector's edition. Four bands / strips of twisted Damascus consisting of a nickel and manganese tool steel are forged into a breathtaking blade featuring flawless symmetry and beauty which requires a tedious smithing process. Each strip is made of a single Damascus packet which is first forged by hand and then twisted 15 times. Four of these twisted packets are fire welded and then forged into this historical blade shape. The structure that is achieved with these different layers guarantees not only legendary strength but also creates a highly unique pattern which defines the "Twisted Damascus". Blades made of twisted Damascus represented the highest class of smithing art in the Middle Ages and therefore was only available to the people of nobility.
