Heralded as the "Steel of the Ancients," Damascus steel bears a watermarked pattern resembling the damask cloth that was also being produced in that ancient city nearly 2,000 years ago. Damascus blades were originally produced exclusively in the Middle East and were known for their resilience and durability during the Middle Ages. There is only one U.S. commercial producer manufacturing blades of Damascus steel today.
