Damascus is a mixture of 1095HC and 15N20 nickel carbon. You heat them up together and then fold the bar over and over to get the desired layers, these are 384 layers.Then you burn the blade in acid, and it turns the nickel satin color and the high carbon turns blackish gray. This is how the layers are exposed to show the layers of the new steel created coined "Damascus". All Damascus is acid etched to show the layers. If you high polish the metal it will be shiny satin like all steels. Only after you burn the sides of the blade with acid do you see the layers of the two steels. After the knives are made they high polish the handles and put an edge on the blade. The high polishing buffs off the acid burned layer of the handle, and the blade edge is sharpened and the acid burned edge becomes satin. The knife comes with a high-quality cowhide leather sheath like the one in the photos. All of the Damascus knives are 100% handmade and do not use any CNC machining to make the knives. Each knife will be 100% unique and have may have some handmade characteristics that make them unique.
