A Damascus blade is actually a historical creation from about 2000 years ago. The city, Damascus, was the birthplace of this type of steel. It is particularly known for the water-marked pattern and the extraordinary toughness. Under a microscope, there are tiny ridges, or saw-teeth, which are formed by forging in a coal fire. The flexibility of the knife allows it to cut even when it feels dull to the touch.
