Damascus Steel is the popular name given to a layered metals technique that was used by ancient metalsmiths for armor, weaponry, and decorative items.
It is a storied material and famous for its incredible strength and beauty.
From the Vikings to the Japanese, blacksmiths around the world developed their own traditions for creating this work which exploited steel's unique ability to be forge welded at high temperatures, with a hammer and anvil.
This technique allowed the use of different steels in different parts of a blade, so the cutting edge could be hard and sharp, while the body of the weapon could remain tough and flexible.
We have always been craftsmen working with our hands and hearts to create works of great depth and beauty, and always will be, but there's no way around it, technology is a huge part of our process.
It allows us to do things that could not even be imagined by the ancient metalsmiths who first developed Damascus Steel and Mokume Gane.
From our digitally controlled molten salt furnaces, to the mass spectrometer in our high vacuum helium leak detector, we have appropriated technology from science and industry to put it to work in the service of our artistic vision.
