The Damascus steel knife is one of the most exotic and spectacular of those used in cutlery. They are characterized by presenting sinuous and irregular lines throughout the entire sheet. These lines, which may look like a drawing or an engraving, are actually the different layers of steel that appear as the thickness of the blade decreases from the spine to the edge.
The manufacturing technique of damascus steel knives seeks the union of two a priori opposite properties: the resistance of the edge of a very hard steel and the elasticity of a softer steel. To achieve this, these two types of steel are forged together, stretching, bending and stretching them again. The more times this operation is carried out, the more layers the damask will consist of and the more the union of the properties of the steels that make up the sheet will be achieved.
Most of the damascus tracker knife that we usually see are industrially manufactured, being an overlap of sheets of different steels that are joined together to result in a compact blade that reveals its layers when the blade is emptied.
But without a doubt the most interesting damascus steels are those forged by hand. In this case, you only start with two or three steel plates, which by heating them red-hot, stretching them and forging them, configure what is a handicraft work that goes beyond the value of a simple work tool.
