Damascus is created by forge welding multiple layers of steels - 1095, 15N20 Janapese High Carbon Tool Steels and 200 layers.
Heat treatment is 52-56 RC.

Damascus steel is created by forge welding multiple layers of steels into a solid block called a billet (1075 & 4340 and 1095 & 15N20 High Carbon Tool Steels). The billet is folded and re-welded several times to produce from 16 up to 512 layers. Patterns are created by manipulating the steel during the forge welding process. 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 flexibility, toughness and produces invisible serrations on the blade that aid cutting. Damascus steel blades retain their edges much longer than normal steel.

Always clean the knife blade after use and treat with oil or wax.
