In the ancient middle east there a was legend of an incredibly strong blades made in Damascus. The metal was strong enough to slice through another sword and sharp enough to cut a hair falling across the blade. These powerful blades had a look of delicacy. Many poets compared it too rippling water. The art of making these beautiful blades has been long lost. However, for decades scientists, historians, and smiths alike have been searching for the ancient technique to making Damascus blades. Although the exact method is still unknown, modern Damascus blades have been made since the 1970s by a method called pattern welding. In this method, steel of different carbon contents are folded and twisted together until the blade is solid. It is then ground and polished to reveal the layers of folded steel. Next, the blade is treated with an acid to give the steel layers more differentiation in color. The blade then has the rippling water effect of the ancient blades.
