Rough instruction for Damascus steel
Damascus steel was made in Ancient India and has another name as “Wootz steel”.
Indian steelmaking technology is superior from ancient and they have been making superior steel from B.C.
Especially, existing “Column in Delhi” is not getting rust even now so that the material for this column as
Damascus steel is famous for superior material. Damascus steel has mystique from it’s own toughness, resistance for rust and elegant pattern of surface and process of manufacture was passed down from the father to just one child of next generation so that this process was not passed to today. Besides, no one could find how to make it until now. Damascus steel was held in high esteem by blade material in modern century and the blade was passed down by dynastic hidden treasure so that it gained reputation by status symbol. Besides, it has special meaning in human history because present stainless steel was developed through investigation for
process of manufacture.
Original Damascus steel was forged iron and which pattern was happened by inner join with different melt point steels in skull crucible furnace but present Damascus steel is called for generic name which pattern is artificially made by wrought alloy with different kind steels like steel and forged iron. This pattern is happened
by difference of cardinal number of carbon and hardness of steels. Then, there are many method to happen the
pattern. In the process of forging for different steels, metal structure will be homogenization and impurity will decrease so that we can make extremely precise. Damascus steel is called as “The best material” for blade
with powder metallurgical product method. Because it can make very extremely precise blade by the reason of
uniform metal structure and decreased impurity through forging of different kind steels. There were many
investigation for forging of different kind steels from ancient age also in Japan and same method could be seen in forging of Japanese Katana. Especially, Japanese are proud of this very rare forging method then, it is not have to say that Japanese Katana is very sharp. Fuji Cutlery Co., Ltd. has been making superior knives like Nickel Damascus steel series and DP Damascus steel steels with our own long investigation for sandwiched knives and forging for different kind steels. These 2 knife series are using Cobalt alloy steel and
super hard alloy steel for core so that they are realizing combination of 2 points as superior sharpness and high precision blade.
