In the world of knives, Damascus steel is renowned for its popularity, especially for its wood-grain-like patterns, which often lead to stock shortages. The process involves layering thin steel materials in a mille-feuille manner, and the wood-grain pattern emerges during the blade-making process. Historically, Damascus steel was developed in ancient India, and current cutlery often features "Damascus finish" or "Damascus pattern," mimicking the appearance of traditional Damascus steel. These steel types are mainly produced by steel manufacturers, with some forges creating similar patterns through their forging process. The terminology used by knife makers, such as "Damascus finish," "Suminagashi," "forged surface," or "laminated steel," can be confusing, but they generally refer to the same category of steel.
