Product detailed description
Damascus knives are traditional knives with a distinctive and beautiful pattern on the blades, which is created thanks to the technique of layering different types of steel.
Pakistan is a well-known producer of damascus knives, which are often sought after, especially by collectors, due to their affordability and their exotic appearance and historical significance.
Damascus blades, made from laminated steels, are heat treated and then usually acid etched to create a distinctive pattern.
This pattern can take different variations such as winding, spirals or waves. Their appearance strikes everyone as very attractive and unique, making damascus knives popular among all knife lovers.
Pakistani damascus knives are often handmade by local traditional blacksmiths who have a lot of experience in steel working, most often made in the cities of Wazirabad or Sialkot, which are famous for their knife making tradition.
They are characterised by distinctive handles made of different materials such as wood, horn or bone, decorated with cut-outs, engraving or forging. The shape of the handle and other details may also be inspired by traditional knives from Southeast Asia, such as karambit or pukkur.

Damascene knives can be recognized at first glance even by a layman by the distinctive appearance of the blade. The drawing, which remotely resembles the structure of wood, is very varied on each knife, and at the same time it is true that each Damascene knife is unique - even two pieces made with exactly the same process will always differ slightly in drawing. Damascus knives and blades mostly come from Pakistan. The low purchase price and often attractive design is a strong point of knives and blades from Pakistan, and the very rustic and crude workmanship is often the main hallmark of knives from this distant Asian blacksmithing power.
