In the world of knives, Damascus steel is famous. Its woodgrain-like pattern is very popular, and it is constantly out of stock.
Damascus steel is a system in which the woodgrain pattern is created by sharpening the blade after stacking several thin steel sheets in a mille-feuille shape.
Damascus steel itself is a steel material made in ancient India, and knives currently in circulation are sold as "Damascus finish" or "Damascus pattern" that resemble the image of Damascus steel.
This base metal is often made by steel manufacturers, and occasionally blacksmiths make similar forgings.
It can be confusing because different knife manufacturers use terms such as "Damascus finish," "sumigashi," "forged surface," and "laminated steel," but basically they are all in the same category.
