How to identify Damascus steel

The real Damascus knife is made of a single steel with different carbon content by superposition, repeated folding, twisting and forging. The blade body naturally forms patterns with different light and dark, which are continuous, smooth, clear, natural and unique.

The fake Damascus knife is rough and lacks aesthetic feeling.
