Thanked: 94Most 'Damascus' steel in modern knives and razors is cosmetic. Once you go over a certain number of folds in the steel [snips long technical explanation] the steel is effectively homogeneous even though it has a nice wavy pattern to it.
You might get true Damascus/woost steel from a highly specialized custom maker, but you can bet a brick to London that anything from a factory involves the cosmetic look pretty stuff.
