	~~''Spyderco’s Damascus is a laminated fifteen-layer steel with a Suminagashi pattern. The~~ Damascus steel is composed of layers of erosive and non-erosive material over a VG-10 core center. The erosive layers are hard martensite stainless steel and the non-erosive layers are anti-corrosion nonferrous metal. These layers block carbon particles in the core from spreading to the outer layers. After layering the blade is forged to intentionally distort the layer-lines making a complicated, artistically beautiful pattern called Suminagashi. Suminagashi is the ~~traditional Japanese art form of creating ripples~~ of ~~Chinese ink on the surface of water. This steel mimics the art form with interesting results on a knife blade. Once the layers are distorted, the blade is bathed in acid etching~~ the ~~pattern to vivid relief~~.''

Damascus is the generic term for two different types of steel (or sometimes steel and another metal) forged togheter in a special process.
The process involves folding the two steels several times and then etching it to bring out the pattern created by the folding.
The bladesteel in the [[C01 Worker]] from the Evolution edition of workers is a damascus steel made by Tim Zowada.

In his own words:

''I made the steel for the Evolution
edition.'' ''The steel was sent to Japan for blanking, grinding and heat
treating.'' ''The steel was a lamination of W2 and ASTM203E.''
