The 13th Damast Limited Edition is special in several ways. On the one hand, the blade is made from Damasteel®, produced in layers for incredible toughness and finished with a lively pattern called Baldur. The Damasteel® used for this knife cleverly combines corrosion resistance and superior strength.

What’s more, to make one’s adventure with the Special Picknicker Damast Limited Edition 2022 even more unique, the limited knife is sequentially numbered.
TAKING DAMASCUS STEEL TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Damascus steel has enjoyed a very popular role in the history of Victorinox. For many years, limited editions of the Swiss Army Knife and several Victorinox household knives have been produced using different kinds of this fine material.
Damasteel® takes the traditional forging process of Damascus steel to the next level by using powder metallurgical steel manufacturing. This is a modern way to improve and refine the old tradition with the benefit of less impurities and far less inclusions compared to traditional Damascus steel. Damasteel® also provides increased toughness and edge retention compared to conventionally made steels. Then as now, the crowning highlight in the production of a Damascus steel blade is the finish. With careful grinding, pol-ishing and etching, the unique and characteristic patterns are revealed, thereby providing a glimpse into the soul of the steel.
The Special Picknicker Damast Limited Edition 2022 can be purchased in specialty shops, Victorinox stores and online. Victorinox guarantees all knives and tools to be of first-class stainless steel. Since environmental protection and sustainability are part of the Victorinox DNA, their products are made for life. Each item has a lifetime guarantee against any defects in material and workmanship. Victorinox prides itself on more than 135 years of experience in the manufacturing of high-quality knives in Switzerland.
