Ladder Damascus is a high(ish) layer count 1095 & 15N20 Damascus that has been corrugated then ground flat. The billet is then re-rolled and the corrugations re-appear as a beautiful Ladder pattern. Ladder is quite labour intensive to produce and is a little more expensive than some simpler patterns.
