Steel alloys

Damasteel® makes steel with the knowledge of the ancient tradition of pattern welding combined with the best steel properties of today. Choose the steel alloy and pattern that suits your product best.

Damasteel® RWL34™ Martensitic Steel

A martensitic, stainless, hardenable and non patterned steel. Like the Damascus patterned steels it is a rapidly solidified powder steel for highest edge strength. RWL34™ is one of the two steel grades used in DS93X™ martensitic knife steel. A particular successful product with very high strength and toughness combined with extreme edge sharpness that is easy to maintain.

  • Excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance
  • Highest cleanliness with no inclusions
  • Incomparable toughness and strength
  • Patented Powder Metallurgy product
  • Solid Steel Technology™ resulting in a homogenous product
  • Superior edge sharpness and cutting ability
  • Top quality and easy to work with ensures perfect result

Damasteel® DS93X™ Damascus Patterned Steel

Consists of two different hardenable knife steel grades. It combines corrosion resistance with superior strength. An unique cutting ability is achieved through superior edge properties. Easy to maintain. An excellent steel for edge tools such as knives. Available in all Damasteel® patterns.

  • Best overall performing stainless Damascus patterned steel
  • Excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance
  • Highest cleanliness with no inclusions
  • Incomparable toughness and strength
  • Patented Powder Metallurgy product
  • Solid Steel Technology™ resulting in a homogenous product
  • Top quality and easy to work with ensures perfect result

  • Solid Steel Technology™ resulting in a homogenous product
  • Top quality and easy to work with ensures perfect result

Damacore® DC21R Martensitic Patterned Steel

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.

  • Easy grinding and polishing
  • Excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance
  • Highest cleanliness with no inclusions
  • Incomparable toughness and strength
  • Mirror finish core
  • Patented Powder Metallurgy product
  • Solid Steel Technology™ resulting in a homogenous product
  • Top quality and easy to work with ensures perfect result
  • Patented Powder Metallurgy product

Damacore® DC18N Martensitic Patterned Steel

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.

  • 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

Damasteel® DS96X™ Stainless Barrel Steel

Consists of two high alloyed hardenable stainless barrel steels with corrosion resistance. A unique combination of beauty and low maintenance.

  • Best overall performing stainless Damascus patterned steel
  • Highest cleanliness with no inclusions
  • Incomparable toughness and strength
  • Patented Powder Metallurgy product
  • Solid Steel Technology™ resulting in a homogenous product
  • Top quality and easy to work with ensures perfect result

Damasteel® DS92X™ Barrel Steel

Consists of two low alloyed hardenable carbon barrel steels.This Damascus patterned steel can be blued or browned for a traditional look.

  • Best overall performing stainless Damascus patterned steel
  • Highest cleanliness with no inclusions
  • Incomparable toughness and strength
  • Patented Powder Metallurgy product
  • Solid Steel Technology™ resulting in a homogenous product
  • Top quality and easy to work with ensures perfect result
