## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it be etched to create damascus**
A: 1095 is great for taking a etched pattern via painting on acrylic paint in the pattern you want then dipping in acid. a different way to do it is you you can apply lair thick lair of clay before quenching to  to make a hamon witch will also show up in etching, you can take a dissimilar steel like 1075 or 15n20 to make your own Damascus patterns. it takes  patients prep work, and time to make Damascus with the first two being the most impotent. I would order a book on making Damascus it also does take a forge but if you shop around you can get a small gas forge (which is best when making Damascus) for around 300 bucks. I have the Atlas Mini Forge, and highly recamend it. amazon does not sell it though but they do carry a few models of forges.I recamend getting this book Forging Damascus Steel Knives for Beginners if your interested in making your own Damascus as it covers everything from building your own gas forge to forging techniques and everything else https://smile.amazon.com/Forging-Damascus-Steel-Knives-Beginners/dp/0764340123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500997314&sr=8-1&keywords=Book+-+Forging+Damascus+Steel+Knives+for+Beginners

**Q: Is it 1/8" or 5mm? 1/8" is 3.18mm**
A: It is closer to 5mm or 4.5mm. Pretty thick. It can vary a little bit.

**Q: Why is this so much more than Jantz supply steel, including shipping.**
A: Our steel is higher quality. And this is the price we choose to sell at.

**Q: What makes this steel of a higher quality then say the 1095 available from new jersey steel baron were i can get a 2x48 at 1/4th" piece same price**
A: Because it's not from New Jersey. Nothing good is found in New Jersey.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality! Great price I bought it probably 4 ...
*by C***. on November 21, 2017*

Excellent quality! Great price I bought it probably 4 years ago and I still haven't made anything with it luckily it's beautiful enough to just sit there! Cheers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hardened
*by G***C on December 30, 2023*

This Damascus is beautiful. One thing you should know is that it comes quenched and hardened. It is a pain to drill through without carbide bits. Buy this, by all means buy it, but realize you will want to anneal it before working with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poorly welded damascus/great customer service!
*by P***O on November 29, 2016*

After many hours of work, found several inclusions/separations between the layers. After all the work, billet was useless for my intended purpose. So much time wasted.-UPDATE-GREAT customer service! After writing the company about the issues I had, they immediately sent me a new piece of steel. This second one was just completed and was much better constructed. Some minor inclusions on the edge, but nothing that I could not work around. The new piece was solidly welded and worked great.
