The Damascus steel was used to increase the carbon content of iron in order to make it sensitive to hardening.

A blade is made of several layers of steel with different carbon content. The layers are made from a steel bar along with a sweet iron. The bar thus obtained is folded back on itself again and stop. By repeating the process a few times you get a bar made up of thousands of layers, which gives the desired shape by forging.

With the sanding will reveal the different layers to obtain the damascatura. Katana disassembled and reassembled. Damask carbon steel blade with blood indentation school.
