Damascus folding knives

There is a lot of legends about damascus steel, as is its origin in ancient India more than two thousand years ago. The original technology of damask steel production has been forgotten for centuries, replaced by the method of steel processing as we know it today. The production of damascus steel is a long and difficult process, repeatedly folding and forging together two or more different steels at high temperatures, so the steel plate can have several tens to hundreds of layers. This activity requires skill, knowledge of materials and patience, the result is a harder steel, resistant to mechanical influences and a distinctive drawing that is original with each new piece. Steel processed in this way looks antique, it exudes mastery and skill, and for experts it is a guarantee of quality and luxury.
