What Is Damascus Steel?
Damascus steel originates from ancient crucible steel, also known as Wootz steel, developed in India and valued for its strength and distinctive patterns.
Modern Japanese Damascus blades are produced by layering stainless steels around a high-performance core, achieving superior sharpness, long edge life, ease of sharpening, and elegant wood-grain patterns.
