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 origin of Damascus steel production.
Typically, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are joined by repeated forge welding and folding. High-carbon steel provides greater hardness, better hardenability, and longer edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and higher resistance to breakage. With this technology, which was developed in an era of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Due to the different colors with different carbon contents, impressive patterns of alternating layers are created, such as so-called twist Damascus or rose Damascus. Because of these patterns, Damascus swords from the Middle Ages were said to have inherent magic. The Edda describes a damascened sword as a bloody worm, a poisonous snake.
