What is Damascus Steel?

 

Damascus steel is not a material, but a process that is used to combine different types of steel into a beautiful, hardened blade. We fold the 15n20 nickel and 1095 high carbon 8 times, which gives your blades 512 layers.

Tough

High Carbon Steel and 15n20 nickel are folded over and over to make a Damascus blade.  This process was developed centuries ago and although some of the materials used are more refined than they were hundreds of years ago, the process itself has pretty much remained the same.

Craftsmanship

Although the blade is tough and hardened, the process of molding the metal into different shapes and styles is easily done in the hands of a master knifesmith.  Damascus steel blades are known for holding a sharper edge longer than any other steel.

Beautiful

In the knife world there is nothing more beautiful than a Damascus steel blade.  The etching on each knife is unique and when you understand how it is made, it tells a story of how the master knifesmith made this particular blade.  Waves of nickel steel and carbon steel bend their way in layers on each blade giving each Damascus blade a look and feel of its own.

Once more I so loved your work.  I was at the Gun show in San Diego today (5-20-17)  And spend time talking to you and you are sharp and bright, and more you do wonderful work.  I love the detail you put into your work.  And, that is time my friend.  I did buy one of your wonderful pocket knifes just like I did the show before that one.
You have about the very best set ups with the use of the fur pelts to display your work.  That my friend is over the top.  And I did smile when I asked you to give me your senior discount on your $179 pocket knife and you did Man up but held your ground and said Hell yes, I will give you the discount.  I think it was $175.  I only did that to see your response.  And that Sir is the mark of a Man.  You passed.

And as i told you i am also a Oregon Boy but have been here in SD for many years now but still have property in oregon.  So we are both still working.

Larry, I love the two knives I purchased from you at the Kansas City gun show this last weekend. Pictures on this site don’t do them justice. The quality is unbelievable. They are true works of art and a bargain at twice the price. Thanks again!
