What is Damascus steel? ‍ The forging of Damascu

What is Damascus steel?
‍
The forging of Damascussteel is an art of bladesmithing.
Thanks to programs as “Forged in Fire” this skill of forging is again brought under the attention.
‍
The art of forgewelding damascussteel was practiced by the best swordsmithts around the world since the beginning of the Iron Age.
The most known were the Japanese swordsmiths, but the ancient Viking bladesmiths were also very skilled in this technique.
‍
Damascus steel or pattern welded steel is created by forge welding 2 or more different steel types together.
In this forging process the individual properties of the base materials complement with each other, but the individual character of the different metals do not completely disappear.

This knife was custom made for @culinair_ateljee b

This knife was custom made for @culinair_ateljee because he often uses tomatoes in his recipes. A tomato knife is a specific fine-toothed blade. Since a tomato has a tough skin, it is not easy to cut a tomato neatly without crushing it. When a tomato is crushed, it loses its shape and, of course, its flavour. A good cutting knife for this is therefore important.
Making this kind of knife is a completely manual process where each tooth is sharpened into the knife piece by piece.

I never intented to be a knifemaker. I always had a fascination for knives since I was very young. I started as an engineer, in the meanwhile I did my evening forging course in Ghent.
‍
My first knife was not a big succes. I still have it here on my workbench, to remember me staying focused on my process. I wanted to work to fast, but now I know that making a knife in damascus steel takes time and concentration.
‍
A first, this was only a hobby, but since 5 years I'm glad to tell you I work for my passion! With amazing customers!
‍
Thanks to the support of you all.
