Like Igorrock wrote Damassteel are a very industrial Company, makes very good, maybe the best damascus steel. They don´t make blades but steel for anything you want to make of damascus. Handmade damascus is layer bye layer and something harder inside for the cutting edge. I think it´s real damascus blades you have bought. I see from time to time cheap damascus blades from India and other countrys in Sweden. About the quality I don´t know?
