Since olive wood is a natural product, variations in colour and grain are quite normal. Each knife is therefore a unique piece with its own characteristics and patterns.

The terms Damascus steel, Damascene or pattern welded designate a composite steel forged from two or more different types of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, an ancient stronghold of stamped steel production. As a common practice, a harder, high-carbon steel and a softer, low-carbon steel are repeatedly forged and pressed together. The high-carbon steel ensures greater hardness, better hardenability and longer-lasting edge retention, while the softer steel confers greater blade flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which emerged at a time when steel grades were often low and inconsistent, allows the positive attributes of the various steel grades to be combined. Moreover, the different nuances generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers generate strikingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called the Torsion Damascus pattern or the Rose Damascus pattern. Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why magical properties were attributed to Damascus steel blades of the Middle Ages.
