The damascus steel Katana is probably the most popular type of damascus steel weapon.
The original process used to create damascus steel weapons was incredibly labour intensive and produced larger pieces.
The proper term for modern damascus steel is pattern welded steel, but the term "damascus steel" is still used because of its popularity. Although slightly less labour intensive, creating pattern welded steel still requires a huge amount of labour and skill, as well as special machines that require space, which is where most of the price comes from. It is not an easy or inexpensive process, but it's the only way to achieve the look.
This Damascus steel ring has a strip of 14KW gold around the middle and is priced at $837.
To create damascus steel (aka pattern welded steel) two different pieces of metal are stacked on top of each other and heated so that the surfaces of each piece are almost molten but the core of each piece is still solid. You hammer the metal together at this stage which essentially molds them into one. You then stretch out the new piece of metal, fold it and repeat the process to get the multiple layers that result in the interesting patterns.
This damascus steel ring is slightly more grey than black in person, and is priced at $387.
The damascus steel rings we now have in stock range from $387 to just over $1,000 and are a great example of the unique patterns damascus steel can be produced with.
