The stainless Damacore DC18N™ from Damasteel is a damascus steel with a unique appearance. The core layer consists of N11X™, a nitrogen-alloyed steel that combines high corrosion resistance with edge retention and strength. The outer layers are made of RWL34™ and PMC27™, both of which are martensitic stainless steels with a chromium content of at least 13%.
