Tactile Damascus steel is fundamentally different from ordinary Damascus steel. « Tactile » means you can clearly feel the pattern in the steel.
Tactile Damascus is made by repeatedly folding and forging two steels of different hardness, L442 and L316. Because L442 is a harder stainless steel and L316 a softer one, the Damascus produced by folding them together combines greater flexibility with the hardness of stainless steel.
About the stories and the knives
The story of the Dreki knife
Our Damascus bread knife, Dreki, was born from the lack of exciting options on the market. The sameness of the bread knives available pushed us to create something unique, and so Dreki was born. The name is Old Norse, the language the Vikings spoke.
As the name of our Damascus bread knife, Dreki carries the rich cultural and mythical heritage of the Vikings and gives the blade a sense of strength, power and a touch of the exotic. Decorated with a laser-engraved oriental dragon, Dreki fuses Asian Damascus craftsmanship with the essence of a Western bread knife. Our goal is simple: to bring a little excitement to your everyday.
Let Dreki remind you that there is room for fascination even in daily life, like the charm of a unique bread knife. The first production run of the Dreki I. knife is limited to just 200 pieces worldwide.
