One of the “fringe” territories that became a strong asset to the Persian army was the Scythians. The Scythians were a nomadic tribe who were renowned for their ability to shoot arrows with deadly accuracy from horseback. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther than the bow and arrow which the Scythians were renowned for, they also carried a curved short-sword, known as an akinakes. We designed this knife after the akinakes with its curved blade and upturned trailing point tip. The flared butt of the handle is also modified from the styling of the time. Made of 1095 and 15n20 steels, the high carbon content of 1095 gives this knife an extremely sharp and durable edge and makes it the ideal choice for a hunting knife. The unique sheath design allows you to attach it to your belt in a horizontal or vertical position. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eScythian Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Knife Specifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Weight: 7.2 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 10.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Width: 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length: 4.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Pakkawood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 5.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Width: 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Shape: Trailing Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: Damascus Steel (1095 and 15n20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamascus pattern: Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of layers: 256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockwell Hardness: HRC 56-59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: Compound Bevel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Tang: Blade extends all the way through the handle for strength\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes a full-grain leather sheath\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This knife is a BLEM.
