The forge

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.

Great to Work With

The steel is very easy to work with, and it already looks great! However, the best part is the excellent customer service!

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!

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.
