  5. 30 Years of Damasteel®

1995-2025: 30 Years of Innovation

From the beginning, we’ve been a family business, and we continue to be family-owned and run, ensuring our values and dedication remain strong. We’re excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.

Damasteel®: Crafting Excellence for 30 Years

A special year for our team.

Since early 1995, Damasteel® has been a pioneer in steel innovation. Founded by Pelle Billgren and inspired by master blacksmith Kay Embretsen, we transformed the industry with our patented stainless Damascus-patterned steel. Our journey began in a small workshop in Söderfors, where we merged traditional craftsmanship with advanced powder metallurgy.

Fast forward 30 years, and we’ve grown from a small workshop to a globally recognized brand. Our steel, known for its beauty, strength, and functionality, is a favourite among top knifemakers and artisans worldwide. We’ve always pushed the limits, creating new patterns and expanding our reach.

30 Years of Beauty

Since 1995, we have provided our customers with the finest stainless Damascus patterned steel in the world. We’ve evolved and innovated, branching out into new industries while keeping the quality and beauty you love. Our steel has found its way into everything from high-end cutlery to custom automotive projects, showing off its versatility and top-notch quality.

We have so much pride in our journey over the last 30 years. Our success is thanks to the trust and support of our customers, and we’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built along the way. Looking ahead, we’re excited about the future. From the beginning, we’ve been a family business, and we continue to be family-owned and run, ensuring our values and dedication remain strong.

We are committed to innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship, making sure every piece of steel we produce is top quality. My family and I can’t wait to see what we achieve together in the next 30 years and beyond. – Per Jarbelius, Owner & Iron Master
