Knife Damascus

Is Damascus Steel Fake?

I have been thinking of buying a knife that says it has damascus steel. The reason for the question is that many people told me that damascus steel does not exist anymore, and that damascus nowadays is fake. Is this true???

damascus steel it says is made from ore containing either tungsten or vanadium, although most tools I’ve seen are made from “chrome vanadium”, it wouldn’t be hard in this day and age to get the proper material. Although it DOES say in wikipedia that apparently the technique died out a long time ago due to shortage of the ore. Then it talks about reproduction attempts. So theoretically, yes, it could be the deal deal.

But it does refer at the bottom about “damascend” steel which is made with a different technique, you could be buying one of those. NEXT TIME JUST LOOK UP THE ARTICLE YOURSELF AND READ IT
