Real Damascus steel knives, not laser etched: Damascus steel knives are famous for their beautiful patterns. In Shanzu's Damascus steel pattern technique, carbon steel sheets are layered and heated by repeated folding and forging until the blade pattern is formed. The pattern becomes more pronounced after polishing. In modern times, there are fake Damascus steel knives that use only laser etching (surface treated) to create a pattern, which can wear out.
Knife details: This chef's knife blade is 20 cm long, 2.2 mm thick, the handle is 13.5 cm long and the cutting angle is 15 degrees. The knife is 270 g in weight. - -

Forged with 67 layers of steel plate, durable: In addition to the steel core, the blade is forged from 66 layers of carbon steel. It has a total of 67 layers of steel construction, which greatly improve corrosion resistance, rust resistance, toughness and other properties, making it a durable utility knife.
