Blade Material: High-carbon steel layers forge-welded and acid-etched to reveal a wavy pattern.

Blade Length: Typically ranges from 6 to 12 inches.

Handle Material: Often made from wood, bone, horn, or synthetic materials.

Tang Type: Usually full tang for durability.

Edge Retention: Superior sharpness with excellent edge retention.

Aesthetic Appeal: Unique, water-like patterns due to the forging process.

Care & Maintenance:

Cleaning:

Wipe the blade after each use to prevent moisture buildup.

Avoid harsh chemicals; use mild soap and water. Dry immediately.

Rust Prevention:

Damascus steel is prone to rust. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or gun oil after cleaning.

Store in a dry place, preferably with a silica gel packet in the sheath.

Sharpening:

Use a whetstone or ceramic rod for sharpening.

Maintain the original bevel angle to preserve the edge.

Storage:

Do not store in a leather sheath long-term; leather traps moisture.

Use a wooden or synthetic sheath for prolonged storage.

Avoid Misuse:

Do not use for prying, batoning, or cutting hard materials.

Keep away from acidic substances, as they can damage the steel pattern
