Good day, My name is Juan and I am running a knife making business for years. We have been investigating about afordable damascus steel and we have came up to the solution that the best and cheapest way is to buy knives with a damascus patina or etching, a fake pattern which seems damascus but it's not. We are looking for a manufacturer which is able to do the patina as shown on the images, we don't care if it's a patina, a coating, etc. but it has to look exactly like the attached ones. As I requested it's not real damascus, it's a patina or a pattern. We are about to make our own custom kitchen knives and we need that process and costs. Best regards, Juan Show More
