This metal USB is an example of artistic metallic designing; like paint, metal in its liquid form can be mixed to form shapes and swirls. The Damascus flash drive by Tangfori took advantage of this metal-infusing technology to offer optimal durability as well as intricate exterior design.
The USB is completely metal. It incorporated two steels that were heated and forged to form layers of a marbled pattern. Every Damascus flash drive is hand made, each differing in its marbled pattern. Art and technical functionality was kept in mind when creating the Damascus; the sleek all-metal USB 3.0 is geared towards those looking for top-notch quality.
Tangfori collaborated with well-known Damascus steel manufacturer Chad Nichols. Nichols uses stainless damascus, high carbon and high contrast damascus to create mosaic patterns within each metal product.
