THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT DAMASCUS STEEL

[CharlesHarris]

I would much prefer Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel, which was vacuum melted, argon-oxygen decarburized and ladle refined and not pounded by a Neanderthal with his hammer to disperse impurities throughout the structure.

We have advanced a long ways in metallurgy since the Middle Ages and I would advise no one to pay good money for an artsy fartsy, but INFERIOR product.
