Because there's no better technology in between it. A $130 or a $1000 knife would still be a Japanese or a German knife, or a custom made artisanal knife. The only "up" he's missing is probably a meteorite-made knife. Damascus steel is a dime a dozen and you can make one at home, if you have the skill and equipment.

Other misconception. It’s about hardness not alloy that determines edge retention

​@@Joker-em6ozYou need good alloy to get good hardness tho

@@rapson158 yes, but that doesn’t determine edge retention. If I got the best knife alloy out there and make it as soft as possible, it won’t be good

I felt the same after using a whetstone on a 20€-ish knife. A sharper edge will wear faster, though, but you can get the best possible steel alloys for about 100 bucks already. Damascus does nothing, it just looks neat. There's no need to spend thousands on a knive other than the looks and prestige.

I've searched for this comment, if I hadn't found it I would have written it myself, thx!

I was gonna say the same about that "Japanese" knife. Looks awfully similar to those knives that were floating around that were advertised as samurai and Viking knives. They claimed to be hand forged in Japan but someone did the digging and exposed them as cheap pot metal knives made in Chinese sweat shops. And I'm seeing all of the same signs with this one too. Honestly if a knifes main selling point is it's country of origin and doesn't list what steel it uses it's probably crap.

@@madarauchiha919 I actually have a couple of that type. Not junk, especially compared to, say, dollar store knives. But definitely not anywhere near the quality of handmade ones from Japan.

@@nottheoneyourelookingfor0504 yes I compared to a dollar store knife however pretty much anything is better than that. But my point was steel is produced at an industry standard so it's country of origin should be entirely irrelevant if you're buying from a company. Only time id say it matters is if you're buying a commission or actual hand forged piece. But even then that more of a. What blacksmith are you buying from and what is their skill set.

@@madarauchiha919 it’s a bit more complicated than that. In the chef knife world, non-cleaver knives are basically split into two types. Western (German, French etc) and Japanese. Western knives are made of softer steels, are made thicker (therefore heavier) to compensate for the softer metal. Lessened edge retention, but they usually are super easy to maintain (hardly any rusting) and they are more likely to bend rather than chip or break. Japanese knives are usually made of high carbon steels, or specialized stainless steels that are designed for hardness. They have different shapes than western styles. These knives are ground much much thinner, are lots lighter, get much sharper but are extremely prone to chipping/breaking and many times will rust if you look at them the wrong way. Of course, there are always exceptions but when one says ‘Japanese chef knife’ one is usually referring to the hand-forged laser sharp blades. His knife just might have been made in Japan, or of Japanese materials, but its edge geometry, blade thickness and overall aesthetic points to it being a Chinese knockoff. Again, not at all saying it’s a bad knife. I have a few like it, each with its own purpose. I personally wouldn’t use a high carbon bunka to de-bone chicken or butcher meat. That’s where western boning knives are best. To further the discussion, I also have some cleavers, each for a different purpose. My western beast is for cutting through bone. I have a pattern welded blade with ergonomic wooden handle cleaver for general use (and it’s just really aesthetically pleasing) and a Japanese style vegetable cleaver (which is actually Vietnamese, made from old leaf springs/train tracks). Super light, but delicate. And temperamental. Have to be really vigilant about cleaning and drying it.

@@PhoenixCheetah it is folded though. Then it’s dipped in acid

@@Joker-em6oz If you’re working with modern steel there’s no need to fold out impurities. And when he said it was folded he pointed to the riveted pattern of Damascus, caused by acid, not folding.

@@PhoenixCheetah no the pattern is caused by the folding dude

Thanks for true

Thanks for the info!

Damascus can be made from high carbon steel, read about that it can be mind blowing 😂

@@alcoholy894 damascus gets its streaks because its to separate steel formulas etched with am acid e.g coffee or other, so its only as hard as the weakest steel. So they cant both be a high carbon. Think before you type

Bladesmith here; 'High carbon steel' is about as bare bones as you get in modern knives, it's literally just iron with little carbon. There is nothing intrinsically better about it, it doesn't get harder, it doesn't hold an edge longer, it's the baseline. Pattern welded steels are generally made from low alloy steel ("high carbon") and a nickel steel. This means they are basically identical to 'carbon steel' knives. That's without getting into any of the pattern welded steels made of fancy alloys. It is not as weak as it's 'weakest' constituent alloy either, as things like carbon migration take place, even at a relatively low layer count. And at higher layer counts (~9 folds) you have effectively made mono-steel. Besides, often times Damascus is used as a cladding on higher end knives, because it looks pretty. It doesn't really do anything for the performance of the knife.

oh my god who cares

Not to mention that "japanese" knife is a trick. That black stuff on the top of the knife, often plastic or a roughed up iron, its no different than a regular 10$-20$ knife. Fun fact, they now sell those "japanese knives" as "old viking blades"

@@Iivaitte yes, an actual good japanese knife would be two or three times that price

That isnt even actual Damascus Steel, its just a fancy imitation which copies the waves but not the true properties or ingredients and techniques which made what is known as the infamous Wootz steel, actual wootz steel was a hundred times sharper and more powerful

Not entirely accurate, modern pattern welded/Damascus steels are usually made from two high carbon steels with different nickel content so that one is shinier than the other. It's usually 15n20 and I think 80crv2. The vanadium in 80cr(v)2 makes it darker, and the nickel in 15(n)20 makes is shinier/brighter so there's more contrast in the folds. Both steels are perfectly capable of holding an edge on their own and are infinitely better than any sort of steel made before the last 150 years. In order for the steel to decarburize, it would have to be in and out of the forge a LOT. Modern Damascus is made with power tools like pneumatic hammers and hydraulic presses that save loads of time and heat, so decarburization int really a concern anyways. You'd be able to see decarb discoloration on the blade if there was any, so there's nothing to worry about. You're spot on with the thing about impurities though, that's why blacksmiths started folding steel to begin with. Modern Damascus is really just for the look, there's no further benefit to it.

the folds make little to no difference in the quality. It wasn't invented to skimp out on using good steel but you are right that it doesn't increase strength at all. Since its inception it has always been atheistic. Damascus steel is usually made with two similar quality metals (most commonly 1020hc steel and 15N20 steel) also the reason you fold Damascus isn't to remove impurities its to create the pretty pattern You fold Tamahagane steel to remove impurities its a similar process but for different reasons
