Made in Sialkot

Forge-welded billet to finished blank

Pattern-welded Damascus starts as a stack of two contrasting steels, heated and hammer-welded into one billet, then drawn out, folded or twisted and welded again until the layers number in the dozens or hundreds. The billet is forged to a dagger profile, the central fuller is ground in, and the blade is hardened, polished and etched in acid, which darkens the layers at different rates and reveals the pattern.

A Pakistani Damascus knife sold as a blank stops there, leaving the wavy 12 cm tang bare, with its mounting holes ready for the maker's own scales. Whoever finishes it decides whether it becomes a working piece or a luxury dagger with exotic wood, horn or bone.
