Damascus Knives

Damascus knives feature beautiful, wood-grain-like patterns created by layering different types of steel. The appearance of these patterns varies: some knives display the pattern across the entire blade, while others show it only in certain areas, with elegant wave-like lines flowing toward the edge. The rest of the blade may feature finishes such as tsujime (hammered finish) or kurouchi (black finish), adding depth and character to each piece.

There are many pattern styles, some with distinctive names, such as Suminagashi (“ink flowing”), inspired by a traditional Japanese art form that resembles ink gently spreading across water.
