It was mainly used to make robust and quality blades for swords and knives as well as various other purposes. The steel was named after Damascus, the capital city of Syria due to some various historical reasons. Damascus steel blades were reputed to have distinct surface patterns, tough, resistant to shattering, and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge. The practice making Damascus steel had been abandoned for sometime in the past but now recently in 1970's the pattern-welded steel has been referred as "Damascus steel" in the trade due to similarities and being used for different purposes. This "Modern Damascus" is made from several types of steel and iron slices welded together to form a billet.
The patterns vary depending on how the smith works the billet. The billet is drawn out and folded until the desired number of layers are formed.
