Description
Shady explorer.The choke brings the awakening, which drags him back from the rim of oblivion. A heavy cough accompanied by nausea forces the poisoning salt water out of the lungs, leaving a bitter taste behind.
Seemingly no one else survived the storm, no corpses, no ship, only some weathered crates washed ashore can be found, with their edges poking out under the soft yellow sand, pointing towards the starlit sky, mocking heaven itself.
A heavy branch, previously spending its existence as a driftwood, helps to smash one of the nearby crates, scattering its bellies contents all over the beach. Some clothes, a piece of map, obviously a shred of a larger one, and a quite welcomed item: a blade! Not a real weapon, but decent enough if needed.
Abruptly a blunt blow pestles the nights peace as a small stone bounces off of the back of his head, leaving a nearly painful, but annoyingly plangent vibration in his skull.
A nearby bush rustles as he turns, but the nights gaping void swallows instantly the sound of the small creature's retreat into the woods, leaving him with nothing but an oafish and clueless expression on his face.
Over the deserted beach, beyond the forest he suddenly perceives a suspicious ancient ruin, seemingly undisturbed for centuries.
Well... there is nothing else to do on this strand...and he does have a blade at least...
It is an epic set actually. The larger one is 45.5 cm long, the blade is 29 cm long, 4.8 cm wide and 5 mm thick. The smaller knife is 23 cm long, its blade is 11.5 cm long, 2.8 cm wide and 3.5 mm thick. Both have wenge handles with bronze pins and both are scrapmascus san mai, forged largely of 5160, 1.2516 and L6 on a 5160 core. The sheath is made of thick cowhide.
It is 360 euro.

Man, I've been away for a while, but dang it they look sooo beautiful 
I adore the sheath and the form of he larger knife. And I think the smaller knife would be extremely useful as you could do pretty much all minor things with it, it's way more practical I believe. And, as always, I adore the damascus pattern

That was my idea too withe the set.
And yeah, these "all in" damascuses have quite a special pattern

Very cool! I like the shape of the larger blade too...very cool! And of course the look of the damascus is awesome on both. The dual sheath is a neat design I would have never thought of. Very cool!!

Thanks for the appreciation!
I have made a similar dual sheath before, but it was a long time ago.

No problem! While I am not a bladesmith myself, it's a craft I know a fair amount about (for a layperson). Heck, one of my story characters, a Light Sith Lord, was the equivalent of an apprentice blacksmith before his powers were discovered, and he later forged the diadem that he wears, by hand.

Nice! Where could I read it?

The series is called In the Burning of the Light, and it's on my page.
(Just one note: in the instance where I refer to quenching a blade in water...let's just say the risk factor involved in doing that versus an oil quench is very much something I had in mind...)

Thanks! I will check it out!
I see. Yeah a few special steels do support that.
