Forged Damascus Flat Bar for Knifemakers

Designed especially for knifemakers and knife enthusiasts, this flat bar made of forged Damascus steel offers exceptional aesthetic and functional qualities. Crafted from 80 alternating layers of high-quality tool steel NMV/O2 (1.2842, 90MnCrV8) and 15N20 (steel with 2–4% nickel), it guarantees outstanding utility properties and a deep, striking pattern that emerges after etching.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Sharpness and Durability ​​​​
  Thanks to a working hardness up to 64 HRC and high resistance to abrasion and wear (NMV/O2 steel), this material ensures long-lasting performance.

• Pattern Contrast and Flexibility
  The 15N20 steel with nickel creates bright lines that beautifully contrast with the darker NMV/O2 layers, highlighting the unique Damascus pattern.

• Easy Processing and Sharpening
  The flat bar is suitable for forging, grinding, and later hardening—ideal for both experienced craftsmen and those just starting their knifemaking journey.

• Perfect for Blades
  An excellent choice for utility and collector’s knives, where durability and stunning visual effect are essential.
