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

Great steel good price and always looks great
Great steel at a reasonable price. It really holds an edge well
This is a very easy steel to work with, just use Ceramic belts 36 for moving metal and 120 grit to do the final finish and then put in Hydrochloric acid to make the pattern “pop”
If you grind to a finer grit the pattern will be more subdued
