What is the Damascus steel?

Damascus steel is a unique composite steel with alternating light and dark patterns.

From ancient times to modern times, Damascus steel has always been one of the most popular knife steels in the world. It not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has outstanding flexibility and hardness. Even in modern times, the performance of Damascus knives forged by ancient folding methods is still better than most common knife steels.

Damascus steel has the characteristics of high hardness and high toughness. Even if it is polished into an extremely thin blade, it still has strong retention and is not easy to break during use. This is the key to the pursuit of the best swords to cut hair and iron like mud.
