Description
Japanese Samurai Sword with damascened steel Blade, While it a marketing term applied to Katana, the term itself comes from the city of Damascus in Syria and refers more properly to Wootz steel - which was produced in India and exported to the middle East. Wootz steel had some very unusual properties and its manufacturing secrets have been lost in the mists of time (the last true Damascus Steel was made in the mid 18th century). Swords made from this "ancient super steel" were both flexible yet very hard, and a study in 2006 found they contained nanowires and nanotubes, Length: 41.5 Inches
