Case Damascus blades are manufactured using the same ancient process. Their Damascus is created by forge welding multiple layers of steels, some that contain nickel, into a solid block called a billet, (Case Damascus contains 1094 & 15N20 high carbon tool steels). The billet is folded and rewelded several times to produce layers (Case Damascus = 100 to 150 layers). Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process. When the billet is finished, blades are formed out of the layered steel billet block. When acid is added to the blade, it attacks the layers of  hard and soft steels differently, highlighting the attractive layered pattern in the blade.  The combination of layered hard and soft steel creates blade flexibilty, toughness and  produces invisible serrations on the blade that aid cutting. Case Damascus blades are  the best flesh cutting blades on the market, period!
