Picked up a few inexpensive Damascus style blades online. Due to the price of the blades, <$50, I am sure they were not using high quality steels. They do have the patterns (ladder on one, and still trying to determine the pattern of the others) and look pretty, but I know they are knives that are <$50.
On one knife, running my fingernail along the side of the blade, you can feel the layers as your nail runs across it. On the other two, it feels smooth.
Does this mean that the smooth knives are fakes or smoothed out?
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
