  1. damask steel

    Damask steel, also known as Damascus steel, refers to two different types of steel used in the Middle Ages in swordmaking. The first type, known as wootz steel, was imported from India and Sri Lanka, and is characterized by a distinctive pattern of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. The second type, which originates from the Middle East, is produced by a process of folding and forging that creates similar visible banding patterns. The exact techniques and methods used to produce original Damascus steel have been lost over time, but the name is now used to describe modern pattern-welded steel produced to imitate the characteristics of the original.
