Bear and Son Knives: Bear Knives with Damascus Steel Blades The Bear and Son Damascus Knives is a Bear Knife series of knives that features genuine Damascus steel blades. The Bear Knives Damascus Steel Series includes fixed blade knives and folding knives. Each Bear knife with Damascus Steel is proudly made in the USA. Bear and Son Knives is the only commercial manufacturer offering knives with Damascus blades. Damascus steel combines steels of different properties and produces blades with extraordinary toughness and edge holding ability. Known as the Steel of the Ancients, Damascus knives and swords have lived in legend since the creation of Damascus steel nearly 2,000 years ago. The ancient city of Damascus was one of the centers of production of this steel. That, combined with the fact of the steel resembled the damask cloth which was being produced in the city of Damascus both having a "water-marked" pattern, gave this steel its name. Viewed under a microscope, the cutting edge of a Damascus blade displays tiny saw-tooth carbides which are formed by forging in a coal fire. This enables the blade to cut even when it feels dull to the touch. Flexibility is superb. Every piece of Damascus is a unique as a thumb print. When ground on an angle, as in a blade, the displayed pattern is stunning. Note: Limited quantities available.
