He is also one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations, which are the astral representations of the Wufang Shangdi. The Azure Dragon represents the east and the spring season, but is also known as the "Dragon King of the East Sea".
This unique Damascus steel knife has an innovative chiseled pattern that mirrors the waves of the ocean or scales of a dragon. Paired with a blue Tali wood handle, it seemed fitting to name this unique knife after the Azure Dragon. 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 cutting and everyday use. This unique knife will surely be a show piece you can use and display with pride.

Truly unique and one of a kind piece of art as well as functional and sharp
The knife is indeed a work of art, however, it is not sharp enough to cut butter. It may be that this knife is meant as a display piece but there is no indication in the description that it is. I collect knives that are usable even though I may not use them. This knife is not usable as it comes but it is certainly beautiful to look at and hold.
Hello Vic. We are very sorry the knife was not sharp. If you would like for us to resharpen the knife, we would be happy to do this for you.
