Baldur on Damacore®

Damasteel’s stainless Damascus patterned steel, Damacore® is a powder metallurgy-based steel with outer layers and a Core. Common for the Damacore® grades is that we are altering the Core. The outer layers consists of RWL34™ and PMC27™ which are well known steel grades for knife making. Today you can choose between DC18N™, with N11X™ as core and DC21R, with RWL34™ as a core.

About Damacore® 

Damasteel’s stainless Damascus patterned steel, Damacore® is a powder metallurgy-based steel with outer layers and a Core. Common for the Damacore® grades is that we are altering the Core. The outer layers consists of RWL34™ and PMC27™ which are well known steel grades for knife making. Today you can choose between DC18N™, with N11X™ as core and DC21R, with RWL34™ as a core.

DC18N™

Damacore® DC18N contains three different alloys. The center core consists of N11X™, a high nitrogen alloyed steel with distinctive properties. The Damascus patterned outer layers consists of RWL34™ and PMC27™. These three alloys combined in Damasteel’s process gives the Damacore DC18N® unique and exceptional properties that combines beauty and function.

DC21R™

Damacore® DC21R contains of two different alloys. The center core consists of RWL34™, a particular successful product with very high strength and toughness combined with extreme edge sharpness. The Damascus patterned outer layers consists of RWL34™ and PMC27™. The two alloys combined in Damasteel’s process gives the Damacore® DC21R a beautiful bright look and a mirror finish core.

DC18N

Contains three different alloys. The center core consists of N11X™, a high nitrogen alloyed steel with distinctive properties. The Damascus patterned outer layers consists of RWL34™ and PMC27™. These three alloys combined in Damasteel’s process gives the Damacore DC18N® unique and exceptional properties that combines beauty and function.

Steel properties

  • Easy grinding and polishing
  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Good dimension stability at hardening
  • Good ductility
  • Good mixed wear resistance
  • Good through hardening properties
  • High hardness after hardening and tempering
  • High mechanical strength

DC21R

Damasteel’s stainless Damascus patterned steel, Damacore® DC21R is a powder metallurgy-based steel with two different alloys. The center core consists of RWL34™, a particular successful product with very high strength and toughness combined with extreme edge sharpness. The Damascus patterned outer layers consists of RWL34™ and PMC27™.  The addition of Molybdenum in RWL34TM gives our Damascus patterned steel a higher corrosion resistance compared to standard martensitic stainless steels. The two alloys combined in Damasteel’s process gives the Damacore® DC21R a beautiful bright look and a mirror finish core.
