Greetings☺
My name is Alex, and I've been trying to find info on two points.

Does anyone have experience with making Carbon Damascus Steel for kitchen knives?

Does less impurities in steel mean the finished knife will be stronger and sharper?

I'v developed a strong interest in blacksmithing and hope to get started soon☺

Welcome to the forums Alex. I guessing a mod will move your post to the Knife makers forum. If you have knife making related questions, this is probably the best place to ask.

I'm not a knife maker so I can't help. Sorry.

There are a bunch of guys on this BBS who can answer that. Phillip Patton, David Leach, Salem Straub all make Damascus kitchen knives. There's more, but those three I have personal knowledge of their work. Go to the Bladesmith forum; (use above link.)
