MOUNTAINFORGE DAMASCUS STEEL JAPANESE TANTO SWORD
Damascus steel is a type of steel easily recognizable by its wavy patterned design. Aside from its sleek look and beautiful aesthetics, Damascus steel is highly valued as it is hard and flexible while maintaining a sharp edge.
Weapons forged from Damascus steel were far superior to those formed from just iron.
Anyone who claims their knives are Damascus steel is not referring to the original method that was used to produce this steel as this technique and knowledge were lost in the 1700s.
The original method for making this steel was cast from wootz, a type of steel originally made in Syria over 2000 years ago. Weapons and other items made from wootz gained popularity in the 3rd to 4th century in the city of Damascus, now known as modern Syria.
Although people have gone to great lengths to reverse engineer the process to replicate Damascus steel, no one has been successful to cast a similar material.
Pattern-Welded - Damascus Steel
Almost all layered and forged steel these days is either San-Mai or pattern welded.
Many steels may be labeled as “Damascus” steel, however, this type of steel has merely been etched which a light/dark pattern. This form of pattern welded steel is more of a mock imitation, as the pattern can be worn away and it by no means carries the true characteristics of Damascus steel.
A San-mai blade consists of two outer stainless steels and a harder stainless or carbon steel core. No folding is done on a San-mai blade as the goal is to have a hard, protected edge that’s fused to the stainless steel but not mixed with it.
A key element in the process, many makers choose between 2-5 alloys that work together nicely and make for a beautiful pattern. Once the knife is forged and ground to shape, the waves of steel allow meet at the edge and you can alter the blade’s performance by tweaking the alloy and its heat treat process.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2023 Verified Purchase : Perfect for what it’s used for, and absolutely beautifully crafted! A sword doesn’t need to need 10000$ to be good, this is a great pice of hardware. It’s worth more than the price. Haven’t had it slip or ring like cheap steel, especially when filing with. I bought 2 for that very reason. Worth it for sure!!
