recently got this knife as a gift and it’s my first Damascus steel.

i am never happy with the edge, it has teeth, it doesn’t glide. fine when cutting bread but awful for an apple :/

is that normal for damascus?

    a knife maker from France: Patrice Etoc. He forges the damascus himself.

    for now i only touched the edge slightly with a ceramic rod.

      I would certainly reach out to the maker directly. That seems like a real issue if he’s forging the blades himself.

        thanks, we will try to reach out to him to hear what he has to say

        photo i took the day i received the knife

        photo i took today after getting rid of that 50° angle

        that damascus layer looks more like a crack now 🤷
