Description
Manufactured by Markus Balbach in Germany, the Balbach Damascus Steel is supplied by Balbachdamast South Africa. This steel is produced using a patented weld bonding process which prevents the build-up of contaminants in the steel to ensure the steel is free from delaminations and thereby earns the designation, DSC® – Superclean.
