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!
