Thanked: 995Here's the US distributor. Products.html
I have an EDC blade, carried for ten years that was made of this steel. For stainless stuff, and one of the first of the sintered powder metal materials to be engineered both for nice patterns and cutlery quality steels, it's pretty good.
I know prices are always subject to debate, but knowing most of the good makers in the US, for this material the price is really pretty fair considering what you get for the money and the fact that shipping from Sweden and customs are buried in there somewhere.
I'm still firmly in the carbon steel camp but see reasonable things on the other side. Call me an independent voter.“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.” R.G.Ingersoll

Thanked: 4942If any of you guys consider purchasing a Damasteel product, pay attention to the design. This steel is actually pretty good from what I have seen, but you do not want any vertical pattern near the blades edge. For a razor, you will end up with something like a serrated knife. The horizontal patterns near the edge take and hold an edge very well.
