It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, an ancient stronghold of stamped steel production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e As a common practice, a harder high-carbon steel and a softer low-carbon steel are repeatedly welded and folded. The high-carbon steel ensures greater hardness, better temperability, and greater edge retention, while the softer steel confers greater flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which emerged in an era when steel grades were often low and inconsistent, allows the positive attributes of different steel grades to be combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the different shading generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers engender strikingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called the \u003ci\u003etwist Damascus\u003c\/i\u003e pattern or \u003ci\u003eRose Damascus pattern.\u003c\/i\u003e Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why inherent magical properties were attributed to Damascus steel blades from the Middle Ages. Such a Damascus sword is depicted, for example, as a bloody worm or a poisonous snake in the \u003ci\u003eEdda\u003c\/i\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Details:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Hand forged with 512 layers of Damascus steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Total length: approx. 24.8cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Blade length: approx. 12 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BTT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983884308818,"sku":"301220521","price":92.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0826\/4786\/products\/cuchillo-de-acero-de-damasco-en-blanco-0301220521-espadasymas.jpg?v=1694330480","url":"https:\/\/espadasymas.com\/en-int\/products\/cuchillo-de-acero-de-damasco-en-blanco-0301220521","provider":"Espadas y Más","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
