Wiki-Damascus steel

Mainly used for Western-style knives. Ancient Damascus steel was a type of steel made in India since ancient times, known as "wootz steel" in Europe. The manufacturing process at the time was shrouded in mystery and has yet to be fully understood. Today's Damascus steel is a type of steel that imitates the performance and appearance of this ancient Damascus steel (wootz steel). It is a forged steel made by layering different metals to create an artificially patterned design, characterized by a wavy pattern.

Its features include:

-Beautiful pattern: Damascus steel creates patterns by layering or folding different types of steel. This creates a beautiful pattern throughout the blade, resulting in a beautiful and luxurious finish.

-High hardness: Because Damascus steel is forged by layering different types of steel, its hardness is increased. Additionally, layering creates a fine crystalline structure inside the blade, further enhancing its strength.

-Sharpness: Damascus steel has high hardness, making it easy to maintain a sharp edge and prolonging its sharpness. Additionally, the fine crystalline structure allows for a sharp edge and makes it easy to cut even slippery materials.

-Durability: The layering of Damascus steel enhances its strength and durability. The forging process also removes impurities and air bubbles from inside the steel, resulting in fewer defects and making it highly resistant to wear and corrosion.
