Why choose carbon Damascus (folded steel) knives?
Carbon Damascus (folded steel) is not just about appearance; its value lies in the combination of materials which, after proper heat treatment, offer exceptional practical properties.
- Unique pattern and appearance: Thanks to the alternating layers of different types of steel, each knife gains a distinctive texture. No two pieces are identical, making them an ideal choice for exclusive gifts.
- High carbon content: The carbon steel used ensures high material hardness. This is mainly reflected in the blade’s ability to maintain precise sharpness for a long time, even under more demanding use.
- Excellent mechanical properties: Proper forging and subsequent hardening give the knives an optimal balance between strength and flexibility. These knives are sought after for outdoor activities, hunting and bushcraft.
- Traditional handcrafting: Most of our Damascus knives pass through the hands of experienced blacksmiths. Handcrafting guarantees that maximum care and attention to detail are put into every piece.
Care of carbon Damascus (folded steel)
As this is a high-carbon steel (not stainless steel), the knife requires specific but simple maintenance. Carbon steel may react to moisture through natural oxidation, which is an inherent part of this material and creates the desirable patina.
- Keeping it dry: After each use, clean and dry the knife carefully.
- Oiling: To preserve the shine and protect the pattern, we recommend regularly treating the blade with a light mineral oil or camellia oil.
- Storage: For long-term storage, it is advisable to keep the knife outside the leather sheath in a dry place.
