(138)

There is a lot of legends about damascus steel, as is its origin in ancient India more than two thousand years ago. The original technology of damask steel production has been forgotten for centuries, replaced by the method of steel processing as we know it today. The production of damascus steel is a long and difficult process, repeatedly folding and forging together two or more different steels at high temperatures, so the steel plate can have several tens to hundreds of layers. This activity requires skill, knowledge of materials and patience, the result is a harder steel, resistant to mechanical influences and a distinctive drawing that is original with each new piece. Steel processed in this way looks antique, it exudes mastery and skill, and for experts it is a guarantee of quality and luxury.

As in the past, damascus steel is used to make swords, knives, leaf openers, openers, jewelery, decorations and other items. Damascus knives and swords are offered by almost every knife manufacturer, whether fixed or folding, the German Boker produces damascus knives interesting for collectors, damascus knives for hunters, for everyday wear. The Japanese Mcusta and its damascus knives are highly elegant and of high quality workmanship, the Czech Mikov produces well-known automatic knives and classic fish knife (rybička) made of damascus steel.
