Damascus knives by Jun are hand-forged and crafted from multiple layers of different steel materials, laminated together through a metallurgical process—not plating or adhesives. The core of the blade is typically made of hard steel to ensure sharpness, while the outer layers consist of softer steel. As the blade is repeatedly forged, the layers blend and create intricate, wavy patterns, resulting in a unique and visually striking grain. The more the steel is forged, the more complex and beautiful these ripples become, making each Damascus blade a one-of-a-kind piece.

A knife made from Damascus steel is a must-have for anyone who values quality craftsmanship, durability, and aesthetics. Made from high-carbon steels, these sharp, durable knives are folded and layered to create their iconic wavy patterns, making each knife unique. Not only do they look beautiful, but they also offer superior sharpness and strength compared to regular knives. If you want a razor-sharp blade that performs exceptionally well—and also want engraving to make it memorable—the Jun Damascus steel collection is the ultimate choice.

A Legacy of Strength and Precision

Everyone deserves more than regular stainless-steel knives that become dull and black over time. Damascus steel knives retain their cutting edge for extended periods, even with frequent use.

Damascus steel stands out as a prized addition to any collection. Made using Jun's hand-forged techniques, a mix of steels is folded and layered together, creating iconic wavy patterns while ensuring strength, sharpness, and durability. This unique combination of aesthetics and functionality makes them a valuable choice for our customers.

Jun knives feature sharp, long-lasting edges, making them ideal for those who value quality and are willing to invest time in proper upkeep.
