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 an ancient stronghold and the origin of Damascus steel production. Typically, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are joined together by repeated welding and forging. The high-carbon steel provides higher hardness, better hardenability and increased edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and higher resistance to breaking. With this technology, which was developed in an era of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Thanks to the different colors with different carbon content, impressive patterns of alternating layers are created, such as twisted Damascus, so-called twist Damascus or rose Damascus. Due above all to these patterns, Damascus swords from the Middle Ages were said to have an inherent magic.
