Description
Damascus Raindrop Pattern Stainless Steel Bar (3x50x500mm) 60-61 HRC.
Damascus or pattern welded steel consists of two or more types of steel layered and heated up to forge welding temperatures and then squished together causing the atoms to stick together forming a singular bar of steel.
In this bar of steel we have stainless steel layered steel as a cladding and a core steel (a VG10 steel equivalent 10Cr15MoV) The core steel is ~0.8mm of hardened steel in the centre.
Process for working
- Cut out the steel to your blade design
- Grind in bevels
- Hand sand the blade
- Etch in ferric chloride & Hydrochloric acid.
- Wash thoroughly with water to neutralise the acid

This is a Damascus is absolutely fool proof to use. I would say I’m an inexperienced knife maker, I was able to make a decent knife in a hour or so. While I was waiting for materials for a larger knife I was able to knock out a decent skinning knife. The product is really easy to use, I would recommend for all skill levels.
