💡Mosaic Damascus pattern created using alternating layers of 1084 and 1520 steels.
🔨Hydraulic press used for forge welding the billets with 40 tons of force.
⚙️Meticulous grinding and squaring of the billet to create a beautifully curved pattern.
⛏️Multi-stage process of cutting and stacking the billet to enhance the pattern density.
🔥Heat treatment, tempering, and testing to create a hard, durable blade with a sharp edge.
What kind of steel is used in the Damascus pattern?
—The Billet consists of alternating layers of 1084 and 1520 steels.
How is the pattern transferred to the sides of the blade?
—By cutting the billet on a 35-degree angle, welding it to sheet metal, and then forging and drawing it out.
What is the purpose of the clip on the blade?
—The Sheffield-style clip adds a distinctive and functional design element to the buoy knife.
How is the blade hardened?
—The blade is heated to 1525 degrees Fahrenheit and quenched in parks 50 oil to achieve hardness.
What is the purpose of tempering the blade?
—Tempering helps remove brittleness and enhances the toughness of the blade.
