A symbol of strength and perfection
Damascus steel first appeared in Syria in 900 AD, and Uzi steel, which is infused with the painstaking efforts of craftsmen, will show a unique and charming texture after repeated folding and forging, and the weapons made of this steel are extremely sharp and invincible in the ancient battlefield. Because the production process of Damascus steel is very cumbersome, expensive, and its unique texture shows a noble temperament, so in ancient times only kings and aristocratic classes can have, symbolizing the ancient people's admiration for strength and perfection. To this day, Damascus steel is still one of the steels of choice for precious knives.
ViKING (Viking) design and manufacturing are responsible for the international jewelry master Chris Ploof [1] team, just the production of Damascus steel shell, it is necessary to cross 3 countries, perform 9 production processes, in addition to transportation time, each shell needs to be processed continuously for 50 hours to produce, full of rarity, more distinguished status.
[1] Chris Ploof, best known for producing the world's finest Damascus steel jewelry, is a two-time winner of the Santa Fe Symposium Award for Industry Leadership in jewelry and has been recognized by numerous international publications.
Precious grade Damascus steel acoustic blessing
Damascus steel gives VIKING a more reproducible sound
VIKING has a very luxurious lineup in terms of acoustic performance:
2 × Customized 10mm Dynamic Unit (Low Frequency)
2 × Knowles Moving Iron Unit (IF)
2 × Knowles moving iron unit (high frequency)
4 × Electrostatic Ultra-High Frequency (UHF)
The four-way split design provides a full and deep bass, a crystal clear vocal and a high note with a delicate and convex sound, delicate and sweet, and precise positioning, so that the listener has a sense of immersion.
Viking shell uses medical grade stainless steel as the main material, and after repeated tempering, it has reached the treasure level of 150 layers of hammered Damascus steel. The hammer pattern on the panel is designed by the jewelry master Chris Ploof, which has a stunning artistic effect, and more importantly, through repeated tempering, the density and hardness of Damascus steel are far beyond that of ordinary steel, reaching the Rothrent hardness HRC60 standard, which means that the acoustic performance of Damascus steel is excellent: the ability to control resonance is strengthened, nearly zero resonance, less sound dyeing, and the three-frequency reduction is more accurate.

VIKING's exclusive 8-stranded upgrade line MAGNUS, with a silver and black color scheme and a splitter and cable harness also made of Damascus steel, perfectly demonstrates the overall design concept of VIKING (Viking).
