What Is a Damascus Knife?

A Damascus knife is a fixed blade knife forged from multiple layers of steel, resulting in distinctive, wavy patterns on the blade surface. This traditional forging technique combines high-carbon and low-carbon steels to create a blade that is both visually striking and functionally superior. The layered structure enhances the blade's strength, sharpness, and resistance to corrosion.
