Amazing Debth Etching Stainless
I've used the stainless steel many times with excellent results etching deep. Just follow the instructions! Tough Steel
Very impressed
First time ordering and im glad i did. This steel is great. Patterns are incredibly crisp and precise. Billets came fully anealed and easy to work. Hardened with zero warping even with one of the knives being very thin (2mm). They took a super clean etch with great contrast. I will definitely be using damaworks steel more in the future.
Inox stainless damascus
I have been working with Damascus a short time. Damaworks has a variety of blade steels, they ship quickly and answer all my questions, especially about heat treating.
