Exactly that’s probably not a legit Japanese chefs knife. Definitely not handmade maybe from a mass produced cheap factory. I’d rather have a wushtof for 50$ range.
a knife he spent 3k on, doesnt mean its worth 3k. if you knew what damascus steel actually was youd realise that knife is worth about as much as any other it just has a pretty patern.
I'm an architect, dropped my craft knife (looks like a pen but the edge is a stupid sharp knife) once on my right pinky toe, it cut about 0.5cm deep but it surprisingly didn't hurt at all, blood and all, the only consequences now is that I've lost nearly all feeling there and some kind of itch there occasionally
For the record, the layers in "Damascus" steel (it's not Damascus steel, it's just pattern welded) do not make the knife "stronger". The point of folding the steel is to spread impurities in the steel out so it's more homogeneous. So that the steel is less likely to break at a specific weak point. It doesn't make the steel any harder or more resistant to breaking overall. That's what tempering is for. The main purpose of pattern welding is just for the pretty looks. Folding to remove impurities isn't necessary anymore with modern steel.

I felt the same after using a whetstone on a 20€-ish knife. A sharper edge will wear faster, though, but you can get the best possible steel alloys for about 100 bucks already.

Lessened edge retention, but they usually are super easy to maintain (hardly any rusting) and they are more likely to bend rather than chip or break. Japanese knives are usually made of high carbon steels, or specialized stainless steels that are designed for hardness. They have different shapes than western styles. These knives are ground much much thinner, are lots lighter, get much sharper but are extremely prone to chipping/breaking and many times will rust if you look at them the wrong way. Of course, there are always exceptions but when one says ‘Japanese chef knife’ one is usually referring to the hand-forged laser sharp blades.

I have a pattern welded blade with ergonomic wooden handle cleaver for general use (and it’s just really aesthetically pleasing) and a Japanese style vegetable cleaver (which is actually Vietnamese, made from old leaf springs/train tracks).

And of course, folded steel isn't the same as folded steel. The quality will depend on the steels you mixed.
@@Joker-em6oz I can only assume it is original older style Damascus steel for this price. If not then it is pure aesthetic and probably not worth that price tag.
Just a point here,since this is likely a pattern weld Damascus rather than actual wootz steel Damascus, it is quite unlikely that it is much (if any) stronger than a high carbon monosteel. Folds do not make it stronger, they might even decarburize the steel (the carbon bubbles up and awayyy) if you do too much of it, which would make the blade weaker. The only reason you would need to fold steel is if it's got loads of impurities.
Not to mention that "japanese" knife is a trick. That black stuff on the top of the knife, often plastic or a roughed up iron, its no different than a regular 10$-20$ knife. Fun fact, they now sell those "japanese knives" as "old viking blades"
That isnt even actual Damascus Steel, its just a fancy imitation which copies the waves but not the true properties or ingredients and techniques which made what is known as the infamous Wootz steel, actual wootz steel was a hundred times sharper and more powerful
Not entirely accurate, modern pattern welded/Damascus steels are usually made from two high carbon steels with different nickel content so that one is shinier than the other. It's usually 15n20 and I think 80crv2. The vanadium in 80cr(v)2 makes it darker, and the nickel in 15(n)20 makes is shinier/brighter so there's more contrast in the folds. Both steels are perfectly capable of holding an edge on their own and are infinitely better than any sort of steel made before the last 150 years. In order for the steel to decarburize, it would have to be in and out of the forge a LOT. Modern Damascus is made with power tools like pneumatic hammers and hydraulic presses that save loads of time and heat, so decarburization int really a concern anyways. You'd be able to see decarb discoloration on the blade if there was any, so there's nothing to worry about. You're spot on with the thing about impurities though, that's why blacksmiths started folding steel to begin with. Modern Damascus is really just for the look, there's no further benefit to it.
the folds make little to no difference in the quality. It wasn't invented to skimp out on using good steel but you are right that it doesn't increase strength at all. Since its inception it has always been atheistic. Damascus steel is usually made with two similar quality metals (most commonly 1020hc steel and 15N20 steel) also the reason you fold Damascus isn't to remove impurities its to create the pretty pattern You fold Tamahagane steel to remove impurities its a similar process but for different reasons

Folding steel (Damacus Steel) was used to purify the crappy stuff they had to work with. Folding modern steel actually weakens it and is only for Aesthetics.
Actual, historical Damascus was superior to other steels according to written accounts. Studies on some samples found that somehow, carbon nanotubes had formed in it, which is thought to contribute to it's performance. The methods of it's production however, was lost to history/ Modern "Damascus" is just decorative, as you've mentioned and the name is just marketing.
@@Fossil_FrankHowever, the carbon nanotubes are a stretch at best and haven’t actually been proven. And the olden day Damascus steel was better than anything they had at the time, but that was due to the process purifying the metal. It is not better than the technology we have to make knives today

@@alcoholy894 damascus gets its streaks because its to separate steel formulas etched with am acid e.g coffee or other, so its only as hard as the weakest steel. So they cant both be a high carbon. Think before you type
Bladesmith here; 'High carbon steel' is about as bare bones as you get in modern knives, it's literally just iron with little carbon. There is nothing intrinsically better about it, it doesn't get harder, it doesn't hold an edge longer, it's the baseline. Pattern welded steels are generally made from low alloy steel ("high carbon") and a nickel steel. This means they are basically identical to 'carbon steel' knives. That's without getting into any of the pattern welded steels made of fancy alloys. It is not as weak as it's 'weakest' constituent alloy either, as things like carbon migration take place, even at a relatively low layer count. And at higher layer counts (~9 folds) you have effectively made mono-steel. Besides, often times Damascus is used as a cladding on higher end knives, because it looks pretty. It doesn't really do anything for the performance of the knife.
Dude went from a $50 knife to $3000 real quick

@@The_legendary_commenter aaww
Just a point here,since this is likely a pattern weld Damascus rather than actual wootz steel Damascus, it is quite unlikely that it is much (if any) stronger than a high carbon monosteel. Folds do not make it stronger, they might even decarburize the steel (the carbon bubbles up and awayyy) if you do too much of it, which would make the blade weaker. The only reason you would need to fold steel is if it's got loads of impurities.
Not to mention that "japanese" knife is a trick.
That black stuff on the top of the knife, often plastic or a roughed up iron, its no different than a regular 10$-20$ knife.
Fun fact, they now sell those "japanese knives" as "old viking blades"
@@Iivaitte yes, an actual good japanese knife would be two or three times that price
That isnt even actual Damascus Steel, its just a fancy imitation which copies the waves but not the true properties or ingredients and techniques which made what is known as the infamous Wootz steel, actual wootz steel was a hundred times sharper and more powerful
Not entirely accurate, modern pattern welded/Damascus steels are usually made from two high carbon steels with different nickel content so that one is shinier than the other. It's usually 15n20 and I think 80crv2. The vanadium in 80cr(v)2 makes it darker, and the nickel in 15(n)20 makes is shinier/brighter so there's more contrast in the folds. Both steels are perfectly capable of holding an edge on their own and are infinitely better than any sort of steel made before the last 150 years. In order for the steel to decarburize, it would have to be in and out of the forge a LOT. Modern Damascus is made with power tools like pneumatic hammers and hydraulic presses that save loads of time and heat, so decarburization int really a concern anyways. You'd be able to see decarb discoloration on the blade if there was any, so there's nothing to worry about. You're spot on with the thing about impurities though, that's why blacksmiths started folding steel to begin with. Modern Damascus is really just for the look, there's no further benefit to it.
the folds make little to no difference in the quality. It wasn't invented to skimp out on using good steel but you are right that it doesn't increase strength at all. Since its inception it has always been atheistic. Damascus steel is usually made with two similar quality metals (most commonly 1020hc steel and 15N20 steel)
also the reason you fold Damascus isn't to remove impurities its to create the pretty pattern
You fold Tamahagane steel to remove impurities
its a similar process but for different reasons

Folding steel (Damacus Steel) was used to purify the crappy stuff they had to work with. Folding modern steel actually weakens it and is only for Aesthetics.
Actual, historical Damascus was superior to other steels according to written accounts. Studies on some samples found that somehow, carbon nanotubes had formed in it, which is thought to contribute to it's performance. The methods of it's production however, was lost to history/ Modern "Damascus" is just decorative, as you've mentioned and the name is just marketing.
@@Fossil_FrankHowever, the carbon nanotubes are a stretch at best and haven’t actually been proven. And the olden day Damascus steel was better than anything they had at the time, but that was due to the process purifying the metal. It is not better than the technology we have to make knives today

@@Billcypher-y1ppee This might be hard to believe for you, but some people actually have niche areas of interest in which they are knowledgeable. Others are even weirder, they insist on being educated on a wide array of topics and don't need to look up every little thing that has anything to do history, the sciences or academia in general. Wasteful, I know. They could have been quipping memes for attention instead, like you, but what can you do...

Damascus is actually a weaker and less durable steel than a high carbon steel, however they do look good as long as your carful not bend it
Thanks for true
Thanks for the info!
Damascus can be made from high carbon steel, read about that it can be mind blowing 😂
@@alcoholy894 damascus gets its streaks because its to separate steel formulas etched with am acid e.g coffee or other, so its only as hard as the weakest steel. So they cant both be a high carbon. Think before you type
Bladesmith here;
'High carbon steel' is about as bare bones as you get in modern knives, it's literally just iron with little carbon.
There is nothing intrinsically better about it, it doesn't get harder, it doesn't hold an edge longer, it's the baseline.
Pattern welded steels are generally made from low alloy steel ("high carbon") and a nickel steel.
This means they are basically identical to 'carbon steel' knives.
That's without getting into any of the pattern welded steels made of fancy alloys.
It is not as weak as it's 'weakest' constituent alloy either, as things like carbon migration take place, even at a relatively low layer count. And at higher layer counts (~9 folds) you have effectively made mono-steel.
Besides, often times Damascus is used as a cladding on higher end knives, because it looks pretty. It doesn't really do anything for the performance of the knife.
