Canister Damascus or canned Damascus is a composite steel made by placing solid and powdered steels in an airtight environment inside a metal canister, and forge welding them together at high temperature and pressure.

The art of making knives

Knife making is the art and craft of creating knives by various methods, such as forging, stock removal, forge welding, or casting. Knifemakers use different types of metals, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, or Damascus steel, as well as natural or synthetic materials for the handles, such as wood, bone, horn, micarta, or G10. Knifemaking requires a range of tools and equipment for shaping, hardening, sharpening, polishing and finishing the blade and handle.

The basic steps of knifemaking

Knifemaking is an ancient skill that has been practiced for thousands of years by different cultures around the world. Today, knife making is both a hobby and a profession for many people who enjoy creating their own custom knives with unique designs and styles.

Designing the knife

The knife maker sketches out the shape and size of the blade and handle on paper or using a computer program.

Profiling the blade

The knifemaker cuts out the outline of the blade from a bar of metal using a saw or a grinder.

Grinding and shaping

The knifemaker grinds and shapes the blade to create the bevels (the sloping edges that form the cutting edge), using a belt grinder or files. The knife maker may also add decorative features such as grooves or patterns to the blade surface.

Heat treating

The knifemaker heats up the blade to a high temperature (usually over 800°C) and then quenches it in oil or water to harden it. This process makes the blade more durable and resistant to wear. The maker may also temper (reheat) the blade to reduce brittleness and improve toughness.

Making and attaching the handle

The knifemaker selects a suitable material for the handle (such as wood, bone, horn etc.) and cuts it into scales (flat pieces) that fit on either side of the tang (the part of the blade that extends into the handle). The master drills holes in the scales and tang to insert pins, rivets, or screws that hold them together. The maker then shapes and smooths the handle using files, sandpaper, or rasps until it is comfortable and ergonomic.

Finishing

The knifemaker polishes and cleans up any rough edges on the blade using buffing wheels or sandpaper. The knife maker may also apply a protective coating (such as oil or wax) to prevent rusting or corrosion.

Sharpening

The knifemaker sharpens the cutting edge of the blade using stones or sandpaper until it is razor-sharp.
