Broken-Back Seax Profile

The Bonecrest Raven™ features the distinctive broken-back blade profile, giving the spine an angular transition toward the point.

Combined with its approximately 11-inch blade, this creates a substantial historical-style profile that stands apart from smaller Viking utility knives.

256-Layer Damascus Blade

The blade is constructed from 256-layer Damascus steel and supplied with a pre-sharpened edge.

The layered construction creates visible patterning across the blade, making every piece slightly different in appearance.

Natural Wood & Bone Handle

The handle combines natural wood and animal bone with contrasting brass details.

A bone ring separates sections of the wooden handle, while the brass collar and butt cap complete the traditional appearance. The butt cap also includes a lanyard hole.

Because genuine wood and bone are natural materials, variations in color, grain, and surface appearance should be expected from one knife to another.

Viking-Style Horizontal Sheath

The included leather sheath features ornate brass fittings designed to complement the handle.

Two brass rings and leather belt loops create a Viking-inspired horizontal carry system, adding to the historical character of the complete piece.

Damascus Steel Care

The Damascus steel used for this knife is not rust-proof and requires regular care.

Keep the blade clean and completely dry after handling. Apply a thin coating of suitable blade oil periodically to help protect the steel against moisture, tarnishing, and surface corrosion.

Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity and never store the knife wet inside its leather sheath.
