Modern Damascus steel gets its name from an ancient Syrian-crafted metal that was used to make knives and swords. The exact method that was used was sadly lost at some point during the 1700s. However, from Damascus steel relics, blacksmiths in the 19th century managed to formulate a welding method that they believe to be very similar.
So, modern Damascus steel is produced by means of pattern welding – a process that involves several different types of metal being layered and heated continuously until a solid billet is formed. From there, the knife blade is carved.
The process of pattern welding is responsible for the strength of the steel, as the multiple layers make it robust. They also provide the blade with a good balance of rigidity and flexibility.
So, what makes Damascus steel great? Here are the main reasons why Damascus steel is highly regarded in both the blacksmithing and culinary communities:
