「WHAT IS VG-10 DAMASCUS STEEL?」 VG-10 Damascus steel is an innovative form of laminated or piled steel, a technique that combines steels with different carbon contents to achieve a desired balance of hardness and toughness. The laminating process, where various types of steel are fused together, creates patterns that are visible on the surface of the finished blade, forming the basis for pattern welding. The VG-10 steel core is forged with 33 layers of Damascus steel on each side. The steel is laminated in the mold, with the layers of steel and steel core sandwiched together. After undergoing a high-temperature heat treatment exceeding one thousand degrees and a subzero ice forging process, the result is a stunning and exotic-looking blade. Damascus steel knives are stronger than their historical counterparts, as they contain fewer impurities and are made with homogeneous layers. The blade edge can reach a hardness of HRC 60±2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.

「HOW TO RECOGNIZE REAL AND FAKE DAMASCUS?」 In some rare cases, individuals may attempt to pass off regular stainless steel with no layering as Damascus by laser printing a design on the blade. These are relatively easy to identify, as they either do not resemble true Damascus or the pattern may simply rub off. Real Damascus is an inherent feature of the steel itself, whereas fake Damascus is merely a superficial facade. You can use sandpaper to achieve a satin finish, and then etch the surface with ferric chloride or muriatic acid. If the Damascus pattern reappears, the blade is genuine; if not, it is a fake.

「WHY DO PATTERNS LOOK SO DIFFERENT?」 The variety of patterns that can be achieved during the manufacturing process is vast. The most popular pattern is the "random" pattern, which is why the Damascus appearance may differ from one knife to another. Regardless, most Damascus has its own distinct personality and unique look.
