Low-carbon mild steel joined by repeated welding and forging. High-carbon steel provides greater hardness, better hardenability, and
Longer edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and greater resistance to breakage. With this technology, in a worse and changing time
Steel grades have been created so you can combine the positive properties of different steels. Due to the different colors and different carbon contents,
Impressive patterns are also created from alternating layers, such as in a twisted form, such as the so-called twist damask or rose damask . This is especially the reason why
