Knife of Yi of Damascus lines gain (knife of hunt of a kind of United States) .
Problem advocate a few saying money can buy steel of a Damascus, it is likely " lucky pink " the Damascus steel that folds forge grain simply perhaps. Alleged " Damascus " steel is not to produce at Syrian Damascus, give koel however! This kind of steel is by archaic India blacksmith uses the ore with the higher volume that contain iron, use " crucible " smelt law production comes out " Wu Ci steel " (the amount that contain carbon is different) use 3 next " Wu Ci steel " cake (two tall carbon, a low carbon) overlay, between heating furnace agglomeration is together, fold forge repeatedly next and become (at least 128) because two kinds of steel contain carbon different (molecular crystallization grain size is different) , fold forge to form beautiful decorative pattern later. 
As a result of craft of Damascus steel ancient time already be lost, craftsman of contemporary cutting tool used 1080 steel through research (it is the flat file steel that we use) + 15N20 steel (a kind of appreciably contains steel of tool of nickel, vanadium) or 1095 steel (general steel of tall carbon tool, famous M7 " jungly Wang Jun is pricked " with steel) + 15N20 steel, respectively cut becomes size equal place → next together 1080, welding rod of reoccupy of → of overlay of a 15N20 or plasma solders fixed → solders again pinchers clip puts → into heating furnace burning gas (general coal hot stove also goes) → is red clip gives → to be put in 50 ㎏ above after hot condition forging machine undertake " forge grows " → , formed fundamental Damascus steel. 
Of course Damascus grain configuration lots and lots of, ladder of eye having a fish, wave, fishbone, rose, raindrop, day... the decorative pattern that waits all sorts of beauty a moment; And on workmanship besides fold forge beyond, still have twist helix, steel many directional overlay... anyhow, the manual technology that make is very sophisticated! Be not craftsman of advanced cutting tool to be made very hard! Because cost arduous ability to make steel of very little a manual Damascus, the price is very so high! A steel of 128 common Damascus grain (make cutting tool of a 20 ㎝) price at least is in 500 money above, if 256 plus grain a bit more complex, at least 2000 money! A few money are far from likely! 
The course bakes knife of blue Damascus grain small hunt, it is Damascus to the course: Again burnish, pickling, abrade... make watering can spray is used after finishing a few water, put to blaze to bake immediately, formed oxidation layer, common says: Bake blue.
But, nobility of Damascus grain steel, elegant, market demand is very big, and crop in short supply, swede saw business chance, contain two kinds the steel with different carbon, first → of pulverize end account also is layer upon layer overlay in sintering furnace next (also can use fine thin pattern or secondary floor is separated, after heating burn oneself out of mould, secondary floor) → passes electrode to heat to the steel pink in sintering furnace, agglomeration... heat one chunk sintered steel had to arrive after proper time after base → billet passes cut, also can get steel of grain of similar and manual Damascus in that way decorative pattern. This kind of craft produces industry of manufacturing decorative pattern steel to cry: Lucky pink. "Lucky pink " suit stability of large-scale industry production, quality, can use the computer to undertake decorative pattern design and quality are controlled... the market can be supplied in great quantities after lucky pink development comes out, also make Damascus grain price falls substantially, problem advocate steel estimates a few the sort of saying money even if " lucky pink " ! 
But, lucky pink is secured as a result of the design, figure figure is fixed also, figure figure is stiffer! Won't form manual Damascus in that way irregular, have intelligence! Regard the elementary course that just likes Damascus grain as the friend nevertheless, "Lucky pink " low-cost still be be to one's profit!
