Damaworks

We take immense pride in preserving the centuries-old traditions of steel folding, all while bringing them to the doorstep of modern artisans. Our range of high-quality steels is handcrafted by Markus Balbach of Balbachdamast, a renowned German smith who infuses each billet with a dedication to quality that truly sets us apart.

Our journey began with a vision of combining the modern efficiency of e-commerce with the rich traditions of steel forging. Recognizing a market gap for high-quality, handmade steel billets, we sought out the expertise of Markus Balbach. His rich experience, coupled with a shared passion for craftsmanship, led to the establishment of Damaworks.

Based in Ashland, Oregon, we keep all of our inventory on hand, ready to ship at a moment’s notice. We understand the value of time for our clients and ensure same-day shipping at no additional cost. This rapid, reliable service is a hallmark of our commitment to customer satisfaction.

But it’s not just speed that sets us apart; it’s our attention to detail and our dedication to quality. Every Damaworks product originates from the hands of an artisan, not a machine. Our steel is traditionally folded, a labor-intensive process that gives each billet a unique pattern and character. It’s an approach to steel making that emphasizes quality over quantity, resulting in a product that doesn’t just perform exceptionally but tells a story as well.

Our vast selection boasts over 300 varieties of steel, encompassing ten patterns and more than 60 dimensions in total. Almost all of our steel is cut to size, ensuring you get exactly what you need for your project. Whether you’re crafting a delicate piece of jewelry or a rugged outdoorsman’s knife, you’ll find the perfect material in our extensive collection.

At Damaworks, we firmly believe in the value of our products. However, we also understand that peace of mind is paramount when making an investment. That’s why we offer a 30-day worry-free return policy. We want our customers to feel secure in their purchases, and this commitment is another facet of our unparalleled service.
