Damascus steel is made by sharpening the blade after stacking many thin steel sheets in a mille-feuille pattern, which creates a wood grain pattern.
Damascus steel itself is a steel made in ancient India, and knives currently on the market
are sold with a "Damascus finish" or "Damascus pattern" that resemble the image of Damascus steel.
Most of this base metal is made by steel manufacturers, and occasionally blacksmiths use a similar forging process to create them.
It can be confusing because knife manufacturers use terms such as "Damascus finish," "sumigashi," "forged surface," and "laminated steel," but basically they are all the same thing.
