History

During the crusades when the French and English were introduced to Damascus steel swords, stories were told about the magical properties of the metal and how it had the ability to cut through a knight’s blades or rock without losing its sharpness. Even though the Europeans tried to replicate the metal, the art form of forging the weapons was such a tightly held secret that they found themselves unsuccessful. Eventually, the secret became so elusive, the art form was lost to everyone around 1750 AD, never to be fully rediscovered.

True Damascus steel is known for its incredible beauty, formidable strength and the ability to hold a razor sharp edge. This is why Venari Steel chose to have our blades hand-forged by individuals with the experience and blade making ancestry that has been handed down from generation to generation. We take great pride in the premium blades we provide so that you can enjoy the beauty and art these knives will provide you for generations to come.
