Information
The damascus is made here at AKS by Jon Walker. He also makes all the Timascus. Jon first forged a knife in 2005.
Jon’s specialty is making clean, tight patterns. The pattern lines are clean with minimal unwanted distortion. When the damascus is properly finished, it is chatoyant which is defined as "having changeable luster". The link in the description has a video showing the chatoyance and a photo showing the pattern. The video and photo are the same billet.
All the damascus is dry welded. This means no flux is used during forge welding. Proper dry welding results in clean billets with minimal to no weld lines. Dry welding is an advanced technique that is used by few bladesmiths.
Billets are annealed (soft) and ready to use. Clicking on the alloy combination links in the heat treat section will take you to the correct heat treating information.
Some billets have “HL” in the description. The means the billet has a “High Layer Count”. The pattern on “HL” billets is finer than standard billets.
Take your time when etching the knife. Do not rush the process. The biggest mistake is to use an acid etchant that is too strong. We dilute ferric chloride 4 or 5 parts acid to one part water. Soak the blade in the acid for about 10 minutes. Remove from the etchant and lightly sand the surface with 600 grit or finer until the the the shiny layer is shiny again. Repeat the process until you get the desired finish.
High Layer Count
Some damascus billets are made with a higher number of layers. We mark these billets with "HL".
The higher layer count results in thinner layers which make finer patterns. One pattern that looks better with higher layers is Ladder. The finer layers create a highly chatoyant effect when the blade is properly finished and etched.
