Checklist For Damascus Knives

Material
  • Damascusknives are famous for their exceptional forging.
  • Unlike other knives, the Damascus knife has a convex grind or also called wavy gr ind.
  • Around 67 layers of two types of stainless steel provide the typical wavy line pattern on the blade.
  • The serrated edge ultimately helps the blade stay sharp longer, as the forging process causes it to wear first at the tips and only then at the valleys.
  • You can recognize a high-quality Damascus knife by the fact that it has a hardness rating of at least over 60 HRC.
Two Main Variations
  • There are two main variants of the Damascus knife: the blade with core steel and the coreless Damascus knife.
  • The core steel blade consists of three layers. A core of very hard and long steel supports the knife and is enclosed by two sharp blades that protect the core from breaking.
  • The blade of wild Damascus: Is coreless and completely forged through, so the knives are even sharper.
Good To Know
  • Do not wash the Damascus knife in the dishwasher, this will damage the blade.
  • It is best to simply clean the blade by hand with warm water, so the knife remains serviceable for a long time.
  • The knives should be regularly re-sharpened to care, so that the optimum sharpness is maintained.
