Genuine Damascus steel is known for its great beauty, incredible strength and ability to hold sharp edges. A sample is created by successively folding and forging two or more different types of steel together. This makes the blade strong yet flexible. We use our hands to create things that will live and tell their story. Every thing we create is born from the energy, love and care of artisans. Damascene steel is known not only for this intensive process and beautiful design, but also for the rich history that surrounds it. This makes your knife so much more. It is a unique, original and unmistakable work of art.
History says that Damascus steel was known from the beginning of the 4th century, during the time of Alexander the Great. The art of making shields and weapons from Damascene steel was highly classified and inaccessible.
Legends from these times tell of swords made of damascene steel that were so sharp they cut through silk fabrics in flight. Unfortunately, due to the secrecy of the Damascus steel forging process, the secret was lost around 1750 AD and has never been fully rediscovered. Many artisans today claim to have rediscovered the ancient process of making the legendary Damascus steel - however, the lack of evidence makes these claims unreliable.
