∙ 10y agoSteel actually has a very long history; there is evidence it was in use in the ancient world (in what is today Turkey, for example) as far back as 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, and it was also in use in ancient Greece and Rome; in fact, weapons made of steel became popular in the Roman Empire. But what we know today as stainless steel is much more recent, coming into common use in the late 1800s.
