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?

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

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

      that damascus layer looks more like a crack now 🤷

        That does not look good at all. I hope the maker responds.
