The Damascus steel that we use for our knives is
Alabama Damascus steel, which, in our opinion,
is the very best Damascus steel available.
Alabama Damascus Steel is hand forged in Jacksonville,
Alabama USA with the aid of massive air hammers and
consists of: 3 layers of 52100 (ball bearing steel),
4 layers of 5160 (spring steel), 3 layers of 203E
(low carbon high impact high nickel mild steel alloy),
and 3 layers of 15N20 (band saw blade material).
The steel is then forged out and folded 5 times to
give you 416 layers. Damascus steel simply doesn’t
get any better than this. Each blade is heat treated
and tempered for optimum strength and sharpness
to 58-59 Rockwell. Which means our blades last for
generations, whilst being soft enough to sharpen easily.
