4180 De Courtrai, suite 153 (I-Newswire) January 20, 2011 - One of the most fascinating aspects of modern day sword making, particularly in regards to medieval swords, is without question, Damascus steel. Time after time, collectors have asked us about the properties and the beautiful patterns for which Damascus steel is so well known for. Inevitably, as a collector, one is bound to be fascinated by the artistic attributes of Damascus steel blades. The complex range of possibilities in terms of color scheme, pattern designs and the contrast between various alloys used to create Damascus present some of the fascinating aspects of pattern-welding. The purpose of this brief introduction is to provide the novice sword collector, a basic understanding of the steps involved in forging Damascus steel blades. More advanced issues and technical details will be touched upon in follow-up articles.

Once completed, we make sure that the blade is dark red from the heat. If it is lighter in color, the blade is too hot and will crack during the hardening process. We quench the blade. Quenching will cause the metal’s molecular structure to crystallize and harden. Once this process is complete, the blade smith will complete the sword blade by hammering the stack to flatten, lengthen and shape the blade, ultimately resulting in a completed Damascus steel blade.

The aforementioned steps present a basic introduction to the making of Damascus steel blades. More advanced topics and techniques will be published as time permits. Below are examples of custom made Damascus Steel swords we have made in the past. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at webmaster @ darksword-armory.com.
