Damasteel

At the beginning of the nineties the company Erasteels formed a powder metallurgy steel division in Sweden which was later called Damasteel AB. Powder metallurgy technology had already been in use for over twenty years at this point. But even though the steel quality was greatly improved compared to standard production methods and alloys became possible that could not be produced before, it took time to become widely accepted on the market. Using the same technology the company began producing stainless Damascus steel and patented this new process. Soon several large knife manufacturers and smithies saw the potential of the new material which is now also available for end users in a multitude of patterns and sizes.
