Product Description

Forging DamascusForging Damascus

Lets make a perfect tool

All our Damascus is real and not just an acid etch. Damascus is a mixture of 1095HC and 15N20 nickel carbon. You heat them up together and then fold the bar over and over to get the desired layers, ours are 396 layers. Then you burn the blade in acid, and it turns the nickel satin color and the high carbon turns blackish gray. This is how the layers are exposed to show the layers of the new steel created coined "Damascus". All Damascus is acid etched to show the layers. If you high polish the metal it will be shinny satin like all steels. Only after you burn the sides of the blade with acid do you see the layers of the two steels. Makes sense? After we make our knives we high polish the handles and put an edge on the blade. The high polishing buffs off the acid burned layer of the handle, and the blade edge is sharpened and the acid burned edge becomes satin. You can re-burn the tang of the blade near the handles and the edge of the blade and it will show the layers once more.

Title: Great quality Damascus
Review: I have used three billets from Amazon to make 3 different knives and this one is my favorite so far. Strong steel and easy to work with so long as you have the tools. I recommend annealing it first as it was tough to grind away at.

Title: Gift for my son
Review: My son was very happy with the blank. He has yet to get it into the forge to stretch and shape it. The last one that he ordered delaminated on him. We will know more when he starts on the blank.

Title: Delaminated
Review: Serious delaminating. I don’t recommend this for knife making.

Title: Would buy again.
Review: Certainly can't make damascus this cheap. I liked the pattern, and it hardened well. I'd like to know what steels were used. But I'm happy with how my chef's knife turned out.

Title: Looks great....questions about heat treatment though
Review: I made a nice knife from this billet.....although it comes fairly lumpy and not exactly flat.I’m not sure about the heat treatment though.Definitely wasn’t annealed.But not keeping a great edge.I bought three.....so I’m waiting for some response as to the steel types so I can heat treat myself to reach desired hardness.Just because a knife looks great.....doesn’t mean it is.
