Ghi chú:

Thép Damascus

Thép Damascus là huyền thoại từ thế kỷ thứ 5 với gươm lưỡi cong của Arab, kiếm rộng bản của cướp biển Viking. Gươm Damascus nổi tiếng về độ sắc và bền, nó trở thành nỗi kinh hoàng trong thánh chiến khi dễ dàng chém gẫy các thanh kiếm của người châu Âu.

Qui trình tạo ra thép Damascus rất phức tạp bằng cách rèn hơn 100 lớp thép lại với nhau. Sau đó lá thép này tôi và được xử lý bằng axit đặc biệt. Không chỉ bền, thép Damascus còn có hoa văn đặc trưng góp phần tạo nên danh tiếng cho loại thép đặc biệt này. Hoa văn kỳ ảo này đem lại cho người chủ cảm giác không thể bị đánh bại.

(Lá ô rô hay được người Hy lạp cổ dùng làm vòng hoa chiến thắng , hay vương miện)

Writing System: Fountain Pen Filling is accomplished with a piston converter to draw ink from a bottle or the use of ink cartridges. The Tighe nib is hand made in Germany with 18K yellow Gold. It's engraved with a specially designed Acanthus leaf, tipped with Iridium, and two toned with Rhodium. Nib widths are available in your choice of; Fine, Medium, or Broad.

-The Rollerball Pen writes effortlessly with an advanced refill that has a 1 Year cap-off time.

Presentation: The pen is presented in a faux Stingray leather box, hand made in Switzerland, with certificate of Authenticity, and a lifetime warranty.

Materials: The barrel and cap are made of Stainless Steel Damascus in a fine twist pattern. Titanium hand-rubbed Satin trim, with Blued accents complete the body. The Titanium clip is guilloché engraved and selectively blued. (The bluing is like you would find on blued steel hands and screws on a high-end watch).

Comments: The Stainless Damascus is mirror polished and one steel is etched in relief. This steel is imported from Sweden. The body is made of Pure Titanium, turned from solid rod for several hours on a lathe. Each part is individually made, intricately finished by hand and then assembled one-at-a-time all by Grayson Tighe. Each pen is hand engraved with "Tighe" on the cap band and then consecutively numbered on the reverse.

What is Damascus Steel?

The Stainless Steel variety of Damascus is the preferred kind because of its corrosion resistance. This Damascus is made by forge pattern welding two different grades of Stainless Steels together in one billet. The layering and manipulation by forging continues until the laminated material is at around 100 layers. Once the finished part is machined from the rough billet, it is then heat-treated and tempered for optimal results. When the metal is etched in a special acidic solution; the artistic pattern is visible because the dissimilar metals dissolve at different rates and reveal contrasts. The process of Damascus steel has rich historical value and dates back to approximately 500 AD, and dominated the weapon industry from the Iron Age to the Viking age. Damascus Steel was responsible for everything from double-edged Viking Broadswords to fearsome Katana blades of the Japanese Samurai. The possibilities of combining a hard-edged material with a tough backing material were used. The magical images of the patterns made the owner feel invincible. Damascus also goes by the names "Damascene" and "Damask"

What is Titanium?

"Titanium is an element (symbol Ti) like gold, silver and platinum. Its atomic number is 22, with atomic weight of 47.9, an electron configuration of 2-8-10-2, and a specific gravity of 4.5. Titanium has a melting point of 3020 F (1660C) and a boiling point of 5949 F (3287C).It is a silvery white non ferrous metal with the highest strength to weight ratio of any known element. For this reason titanium is the favored material in the aerospace industry. 85% of the structural components in the Space Shuttle are made of titanium.

The name titanium was derived from the Titans of Greek mythology, known for their extreme and superior strength. Titanium belongs to an elite category of elements known as refractory metals. One of the more outstanding characteristics of these materials lies in the refractive properties inherent to their oxides. Titanium is naturally platinum gray. By applying heat or electricity one may unleash its refractive properties, inducing various oxide thicknesses on the material surface. Titanium anodizing is best performed electrolytically. The resulting titanium oxide causes an optical interference with a purity and vivacity much the same as witnessed in the luminescent colors of oil on water, a peacock's feather, or a rainbow. These colors are not the results of dyes, but a natural oxide produced by the metal when stimulated.

Titanium has positively and diversely impacted mankind more than any single element in history. It is the element that took us to the depths of the ocean, the far reaches of the galaxy and elevated our capacities in medicine, industry and science.

Titanium is inert. The most bio-compatible element known to man, and therefore the material of preference in the medical world for surgical tools, implants, pacemaker cases, and other internal casings. It will not react to ANY chemistry other than Hydrofluoric acid. Pure titanium is 100% hypoallergenic. It won’t react with the body or chemicals, making it a great choice for even those persons most sensitive to other materials. And, unlike silver, titanium will never tarnish!
