Description

WHAT IS VG10 DAMASCUS STEEL？ An outgrowth of laminated or piled steel, a similar technique used to combine steels of different carbon contents, providing a desired mix of hardness and toughness. This laminating process, in which different types of steel together produce patterns that can be seen in the surface of the finished blade, forms the basis for pattern welding. There is a VG10 steel core forged with 33 layers of Damascus steel on either side. The steel is laminated in the mold which layers of steel and steel core are sandwiched together. After more than one thousand degrees high temperature heat treatment and minus 100 degrees ice forging process. Make it looks exotic and downright gorgeous. Damascus steel knives are stronger than their historic counterpart, as they contain less impurities and are made with homogenous layers. The blade edge can reach to HRC 60±2. HOW TO RECOGNIZE REAL AND FAKE DAMASCUS？ In some rare cases, people will try to pass off regular stainless steel with no layering as Damascus by laser printing a design on the blade. These are pretty easy to spot because they either don’t look like Damascus or the pattern could just rub off. Real Damascus is intrinsic to the steel itself but fake Damascus is only a facade. You can use sandpaper to get that satin look. Once it’s nice and polished, etch it with ferric chloride or muriatic acid. If the Damascus pattern comes back, it’s real. If not, you have a fake on your hands WHY DO PATTERNS LOOK SO DIFFERENT？ There are many types of patterns you can achieve during the process of making. the most popular pattern is the “random” pattern, which is why the Damascus may look different from one knife to the other. Either way, most Damascus has its own personality and unique look. WHY CHOOSE NANFANG BROTHERS？ We have 27 years' experience in producing professional kitchen knives.
