Hi guys.
Sorry for the silly question, but I know little about knife steels and just recently discovered the Rockwell scale.
I see these Damascus knives made out of Pakistan and india and am wondering....
Is it just that no one knows what kind of steel they are made of?
The handles look so pretty on the internet, I just cant believe they would put 50 bucks worth of material and work on a .50 cent blade.
BUUUTTT.......
I have been wrong before. That was in 1977 when I said I was gonna get that sucker that spanked my butt to get me to breathe. He died before I turned 5. But I aint giving up hope. Im kidding. Just a joke.
Anyhow.. how do I know if I purchase a knife from even somewhere else, am I getting a good steel? (Steel, not steal or steele). Is there anything that can give me a hint looking at pictures? Just trying to learn before I spend any hard money.
Thanks yall.
