The term Damascus steel , Damascus steel , or simply Damascus refers to a composite steel made from two or more different types of steel. The name is derived from the Syrian city of Damascus, which is considered the ancient stronghold and origin of Damascus steel production.
As a rule, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are brought together by repeated forging, welding, and folding. The high-carbon steel provides greater hardness, better hardenability, and longer edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and increased resistance to breakage. With this technology, which developed in a time of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Due to the different colors with different carbon contents, stunning patterns of alternating layers are created, such as the so-called twist damask or rose damask . Because of these patterns, Damascus swords of the Middle Ages were said to have an inherent magic. The Edda describes a damascened sword blade as resembling a bloody worm or a poisonous snake.
