Stronger With Every Struggle

Story

This design was inspired by Damascus Steel. The idea is this:

When a blacksmith is making Damascus Steel, they constantly heat the steel to extreme temperatures and then quickly drop them into cold water. This repeated stress makes the steel stronger and stronger every time. After the blade is formed, it's given an acid bath. That bath melts away all of the imperfections and weakness that was left in the steal leaving behind a beautiful, unique pattern. 

Just like Damascus Steel, every struggle makes us a little bit stronger in a beautiful way.
