Damascene steel The following grades of steel are used for the production of damascene steel: ??15, ?9, 65?.

RUS - ??15, ??9, 65? CSN - 14 100, 13 220, 19 191 DIN -100 Cr 6, 66 Mn 4, C 90 W 2 AISI - E 52100, --, W 1 (C 0,10)

Damascene steel is produced by forge welding in one unit from different grades of steel with different carbon content and from plate of size 200×30×4mm. The result is an alternation of hard, soft and viscous layers. The consequence is that a so-called "micro-saw" is formed on the blade, which provides excellent long-term cutting properties. The number of layers is on average 1000-1500. The mechanical properties of the damask improve to a certain extent with increasing number of layers until the material starts to behave again as a homogeneous block. It is desirable to achieve the target number of layers with as few welding operations as possible.This is achieved by precise work, and by increasing the number of layers in the package and by multiple (i.e. more than 2 times) chopping and folding after each welding.

After many years of experience in forging blades from damascus, the companyOkské Knives has come to the conclusion that the optimal number of layers ranges from 1000 to 1500.

Knife made of damascus steel requires extra care as it is prone to rusting. The knife must be wiped carefully after each use and should not be exposed to a damp environment for long periods of time.

The structure of damascus steel differs from knife to knife. Each knife is unique.

Hardness of steel: HRC 60-63

Sapeli (Entandophragma cylindricum) Density640-660 kg/m3 Native to Africa, it grows in moist forests. Brava ranges from dark red to light brown or pale pink.The grain structure is uniform with clearly visible pores. It is easy to work mechanically and yet sufficiently resistant to careless handling.The advantages of this variety include its incredible lightness and durability.

Insole with pressed cowhide leather.
