The pale bone grip and the polished Damascus blade stand out against the dark scabbard, and the red leather details add a bold accent. At the top of the hilt sits the skull head pommel, which is the first thing most people notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made of Damascus steel, a material made by forging layers of different steels together and then etching the surface so the layers show. On this sword the pattern is a fine, flowing swirl across the full length of the blade. It is a long, straight blade that follows classic medieval sword lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guard is made of brass and is shaped with a gentle curve. The grip is made of bone pieces, with brass spacers between them, and ends in the skull pommel. The bone and brass together give the hilt a warm, antique look that matches the dark theme of the pommel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scabbard has a wood core covered in black leather. Red leather patches, crossed leather straps and a red embossed tip decorate it, and a skull design appears near the mouth. The decoration is made by hand, so small differences between swords are part of their character. A leather belt is included, so the sword can be carried or hung for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade Damascus Skull Sword with Scabbard and Belt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight, double-edged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGuard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrip\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBone pieces with brass spacers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePommel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkull head design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eScabbard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood core covered in black leather, with red leather details, hand-tooled decoration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBelt\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather belt with buckle, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGothic \/ medieval-inspired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCollectors, display, costume, re-enactment, gifts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Damascus Steel?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern Damascus steel, also called pattern-welded steel, is made by forging layers of different steels together. The billet is folded, forged and then etched in acid so the layers show as a pattern. Pattern-welded blades have been made for many centuries, and today they are valued for their looks and for the skill needed to make them. Each blade has its own pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSkulls on Swords: A Short Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skull has long been a symbol of mortality. In European art it appeared as the \u003cem\u003ememento mori\u003c\/em\u003e, Latin for \"remember that you must die.\" Skull imagery later became common on military insignia and in gothic and dark fantasy design. This sword uses that tradition as decoration. It is a modern handmade piece inspired by medieval sword shapes, not a copy of a specific historical weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe the Damascus blade dry after handling and apply a thin coat of gun oil or mineral oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the sword in a dry place and do not keep it in the scabbard for long periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the bone grip dry and out of direct heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the leather with a dry cloth and condition it now and then.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the blade made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made of Damascus steel with a layered, swirling pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the grip made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grip is made of bone pieces with brass spacers between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a scabbard and belt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
