Custom Lot of 5 Handmade Hammered Damascus Steel Blade Chef Set Knife

All our Damascus steel is genuine and not just an acid etch. It is a carefully crafted mixture of 1095 high carbon steel (1095HC) and 15N20 nickel carbon steel. These steels are heated together and then folded repeatedly to create the desired layers — ours consist of 384 layers.After forging, the blade is burned in acid, which turns the nickel layers to a satin color and the high carbon layers to a blackish gray. This process reveals the unique and intricate layers of steel that make up true Damascus blades. While all Damascus is acid etched to expose these layers, the blade is polished to a shiny satin finish.The handles are high polished after forging, and the edges are sharpened to perfection. The acid-burned layer on the handle is buffed off for a smooth finish, while the blade edge maintains a satin finish.All our knives are 100% handmade, ensuring each piece is unique and crafted with traditional forging techniques.
