Are your damascus steel knives forged, or stock removal damascus?

OK, Here's my two cents on the matter. I have been a machinist for 39 yrs. I just had the knife in hands, and I took a file and filed on the tang in several places. In one place, the layering seemed to go away, but in another place, after filing thru the layering, you could still see layering in a very finite way by using magnifiers. This is the first of this kind I purchased, and I as happy with it. I bought a car with a cracked front bumper cover, and had been duct taped long ago. There was alot of tape covering the cracked area. I used a couple of other well known nane brand knives to scrap off the tape and residue. I ended up using this knife, and it worked so much better than any of the others that I couldn't believe the difference. This knife holds a good edge, I could actually scrap between the layers of paint with it. Also down inside the lanyard hole after cleaning it out with Isopropyl, it looks like layered steel to me, and not just drill marks.

They are just acid burned. There is no folded steel just super cheap steel with an acid burn.

As a purchaser I can tell you that the knives I purchased through King are well balanced and looked like they are forged as there are multiple layers of steel. A sprayed on Damascus look is not what you are getting. I hope this helped, also look at Perkins

M. Gabriele. Your question about stock and grip removal. To the best of my knowledge no. But I haven't tried to. It looks to me that stock is molded into the frame. Great gun to shot. Have fun and shot wisely. Dean.

England I believe with Damascus steel. Amazing blades for sure! Use frog lube on them when you get 'em.

No it's not. Damascus steel is dark and has 'waves' from the forging process; this is some type of stainless steel

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

Can't swear to it but as a general rule, inexpensive, unmarked Damascus blades come from Pakistan. I have a few and, for the price, they are good. In fact, of the 3 I have, all are better and nicer looking than my Buck Damascus.

I don't think it matters if it is stamped on the blade or handle as long as it's some where within the package or contents. They're great knives though I work in a production kitchen and a buffet line haven't had a single issue or discomfort :)

I'm not going to disassemble the knife to check, but shining a light on it, I see bronze on one side and strangely enough nylon AND a very thin bronze on the other side. The knife locks up nice and solid. Hope that helps.

It's from china, I believe it's under close supervision by spyderco.. They just did this to cut cost. I have no complaints with the steel. It's been my beater knife ever since and I'm satisfied with it.

have no idea or even the difference between forged & stamped-however set is great quality-holds an edge extremely well-had for 6 months & haven't sharpened yet

These knives are made from forged damascus billet. The pattern is not printed by acid etching, It is not fake damascus acid etched damascus. It is folded several times and forged to obtain hundreds of layers.

The tiny mark on the blade says "Seki -Japan" which indicates the steel maker. I use a diamond plate for sharpening ... the factory edge sucketh so some work was required but the edge is much better now.

I do not see a lot of steel removed from my knives. Perhaps the type of knife matters here, but I am not concerned about how much steel is being removed. The knives I sharpen more often are not high-end.

No, it is made by Cold Steel in USA, nor is hand forged. I think you can not get a katana made (forged) ​​in Japan, they wont let you take it out of the country because they are a historical heritage.

I don't know, but you've made me want to know. I fired an email to the Havalon corporate headquarters in Cincinnati asking if the knife was made using American labor, and/or if it was assembled here with parts made offshore. I sure hope it's made here, but I kind of doubt it. I wish I could be more helpful, but I'll re-post here when I get an answer from Havalon.

The answer to your question is a little more complicated than you would think. When an item is fulfilled by Amazon they are pulling from a stock they have on hand. If it is fulfilled by a different company selling on Amazon, then they are pulling from their inventory on hand. If there is a product change it depends on what version Amazon or those other companies have on hand. I reviewed the Spyderco Cats we have in stock and they have 440C steel blades without any jimping. I hope this helps.
