I see that a price of $1700 is crossed out next to the drop price, perhaps to indicate that that's the MSRP of this set. But this set is available on Amazon for $227 (plus $5 shipping or so:

SternsteigersolingenI just didn't want to come across as someone begging for free products. As you can see by my profile, I buy a lot. And when I like something. I let everyone know. And I want to believe in your product for many reasons and I want to know if you make something worthy of being in people's restaurants and homes. I appreciate the response and offer.

I'm bummed that massdrop keeps posting items from this company. They buy cheaply made knives and scissors from china, rebrand them, create and insane markup, and then discount o this site. It makes me second guess the quality of other drops on this site from companies I'm not familiar with and overall diminishes the good reputation massdrop has built up with me over the years.

Ryan_AlanDon't let this one drop deter you. The company that makes these knives won't even reply here. Just ignore it. I did buy their scissors though. Couldn't pass on them. But I do agree with you to an extent.

The knives in the photos do not appear to be - what I think of as - Damascus steel.

MastodonOThat's a common misconception. What you see is actually "Damascus steel" because that phrase has only ever applied to the pattern.
It's true that a patterned steel was produced in the Damascus region around the 6th century with better performance compared to other steels at the time, but this is what's known as wootz steel. Specifically, wootz steel is a crucible steel (a production method used then and now) with patterning where the patterns are composed of various carbide formations. This would have been discovered by accident as a by product of impurities in local iron combined with the crucible steel production process which reduces impurities. The observed pattern was then associated with rugs produced in Damascus as they had similar patterns. The production of these rugs and their style predated the discovery of wootz steel.
Today, the pattern is achieved by welding two different steels together in bands and folding to increase the layer count. The forge welded billet is then etched in acid and since the different steels discolor differently in acid, a pattern emerges. This patterned material is then wrapped around a solid core and does not affect the performance of the knife in any significant way.
These knives are super overpriced though, don't buy them.
