Salt Spring Island Blacksmith forges one-of-a-kind Damascus steel kitchen knives
A maze of flowing waves creating distinctive fingerprints, Seth Cosmo Burton spends his days forging Damasus steel and turning it into beautiful, one-of-a-kind kitchen knives.
Many of Burton’s chefs, pairing and foraging knives are made of stainless steel, preventing the metal from oxidation and rust . The Damascus stainless steel, along with its unique beauty, is harder than regular stainless steel, making the blades stronger and better allowing them to maintain their sharpness.
Making Damascus steel is a complex process. First, differing steels are layered on top of one another and then subjected to intense heat. Next, they are repeatedly hammered to forge a cohesive piece. During this process, the heat helps eliminate impurities and removes oxygen, allowing the metals to fuse together seamlessly while also creating the stunning visual effect of swirling patterns.
The trip was instrumental: “I didn’t even know there was a knife world. I didn’t realize people even made knives for a living, or it was even a thing. So it was quite the opportunity to meet [Fisher].”
