The mill

Forged in Laubuseschbach, Germany.

BALBACHDAMAST® (opens in a new tab) has forged Damascus since 1991. Its DSC® SuperClean process, which it describes as patented, welds solid steel with no powder, so the layers stay clean, heat treat with low distortion, and stay bonded when you machine them.

Pre-Cut - Easy

The pre-cut option is a good way to find a billet ready to go. I've used both high carbon and stainless, always a top quality product!

High Quality Stainless Damascus!

Excellent stainless and very affordable. Works just as easy as their high carbon. Used this stuff on some bird and trout knives and the finished product was beautiful!

Excellent High Carbon Damascus

Used this on a folder and came out beautiful. The steel is annealed so cutting/machining was a breeze. Sanded and polished to a mirror and the etch was beautiful. Highly recommend!
