Damascus steel is steel that has two or more steel alloys, cast together through various processes to give the steel a wavy and artistic pattern which comes from the layering process. As this process has been lost for centuries, new aged techniques have risen to allow for replicating the lovely Damascus steel look. This is a time intensive process which is why the knives come at a premium. At Wilson Cutlery we have worked very hard to source the best Damascus steel knives and bring them to you at affordable prices. We back all our knives with the Wilson Cutlery 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee!
