Damascus Steel Swords For Sale
hI Jordan damascus steel is not actually a steel it is a composite material like the damascus rifle barrels the Afghan's use it is made from wire wrapped around an inner mandrel the beaten on an anvil till all the wire becomes one so it is several types of iron and steel beaten together and forged to produce it so it is not something you can actually buy as a material the tribesmen that produce these swords have these secret methods of doing this so there is the first problem. it is not like cast steel which is what most swords are made of it is far more complex in it's construction. so you may need to do a lot of research to find out how. what is a similar idea is the SAMURAI sword that is made up of combining different steels together and forged into a very sharp and capable killing blade.
