The terms Damascus steel, damasquinado or welded with pattern designate a forged composite steel from two or more different types of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, an ancient bastion of stamped steel production. As a common practice, a harder high carbon steel and a softer low carbon steel are repeatedly forged and bent. High carbon steel ensures greater hardness, better temperability and longer-lasting edge retention, while softer steel confers greater blade flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which arose at a time when steel grades were often low and inconsistent, allows the positive attributes of different steel grades to be combined. In addition, the different nuances generated by the variable carbon content of the alternating layers engender surprisingly beautiful patterns. Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why magical properties inherent in the Damascus steel leaves of the Middle Ages were attributed.
