At $59, this blade of legendary Damascus
steel is a real steal
amascus steel is the stuff of legend. Using a technique first mastered
in the ancient city, swords made from Damascus steel were known to
slice gun barrels in half and separate single strands of hair in two, even if
the hair simply floated down onto the blade.

Now, you can be a part of the legend. The 7 ½"
August Knife features a blade of modern Damascus
steel, inspired by the production techniques and
legends of history. Damascus steel blade knives
can cost thousands. So, at $59, the price itself is
also legendary.
What customers are saying
about Stauer knives...
ÌÌÌÌÌ
“Very hefty, well-built knife
and sheath. Extremely good-
looking and utilitarian.”
Once a lost art, we sought out a knifemaker who
Ȅ Ǥǡ ƒ…‡›ǡ ƒ•Š‹‰–‘
has resurrected the craftsmanship of Damascus steel
to create the August Knife. The elusive, ancient
production technique mixes different steel alloys to form a super steel––
the outcome is a beautiful one-of-a-kind pattern of banding and mottling
reminiscent of flowing water.
With the August Knife you’re getting the best blade
money can buy. What you won’t get is the inflated
price tag. We know a thing or two about the hunt––
like how to seek out and capture an outstanding,
collector’s-quality knife that won’t cut into your
bank account.
Limited availability. Only a handful of artisans
make these blades, with each handcrafted knife
taking months to perfect. We currently can get less
than 1500 this year, so we can’t promise they’ll stick
around for long–– especially at this price. Call today!
Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you
don’t feel like we cut you a fair deal, send it back
within 30 days for a complete refund of the item
price. But we believe once you wrap your fingers
around the August’s handle and experience the
