A big Thank You to Adam Kalloch (Bifrost Forge) and Benoit Laurent (Stewart Mountain Forge) for making this video with me and providing all the in-depth information and demonstrations!
Since there are so many misconceptions about folded steel it's great to have the purpose and practical aspects of this forging method explained by expert craftsmen with the experience and knowledge.

All pedantic useless knowledge certainly. Basically, unless you want to own your own forge, I probably wouldn't bother knowing about this stuff. I'm curious to get a general idea though, so long as it's close to accurate. Eg. Like, maybe why layer numbers matter or don't matter, or what makes them different.

Skallagrim, you make consistently excellent videos and your guests are equally interesting. I'm not a blacksmith, but I'm pretty certain that only crucible Wootz steel can be called Damascus. The resulting patterns in Wootz is very different from pattern-welded steel. A traditional Japanese katana will show flowing patterns and a Wootz (Damascus) shamshir will show flecks of carbon and different "islands" of steel. There is a crucible steel society. IpostSwords is a founder and has a KZfaq channel. Maybe you could do a video with them?

I've always been curious as to what this kind of steel's various stats are and how they compare to other materials (especially their component materials). Does it result in a gestalt of the materials used, a middle-point, or something oddball compared to them? Are there any specific downsides to this material for practical purposes compared to using a single specific material?

Does anyone know if pattern-welding 1090 carbon steel and folding it enough times to where it has a HRC between 55 and 56 is a good thing for a slender blade? The seller is telling me it has the hardness and flexibility of 1060 folded with the "Damascus", and specifically, I'm wondering if this would work for a 36" cut-and-thrust rapier blade. There are 11 pieces of steel, folded five times, making 352 layers. Thanks!!

TIPS FOR DAMASCUS BLADES: THE KNIFE BLADE SHOULD ALWAYS BE CLEAN AND TREATED WITH OIL AFTER USE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. TO PREVENT FROM RUSTING NEVER STORE YOUR KNIFE FOR LONG TIME IN LEATHER SHEATH. 2. LEATHER CAN ABSORB WATER, WHICH WILL RUST THE KNIFE. 3. ALWAYS CLEAN THE BLADE AFTER USING WITH MINERAL OR COCONUT OIL. found on different seller's site, so guess answers my question, sheaths are bad...

Technically, the term "damascus steel" originally only referred to what is now called "wootz steel". Nowadays it's meaning has been changed to refer to the aesthetically similar pattern welded stuff, largely due to marketing from gun and knife makers. Real wootz/damascus is apparently pretty interesting stuff.

how are those layer counts counted? wouldnt they be a factor of 2 or 3 starting layers? Aka 2^5 if you have two steels layered 5 times, or three layers would be 3*2^5 for example? Some of the numbers they said for the layer count doesnt make sense to me.

Johan: Basically yes, though certain colors (such as blue or black) are easier than others. The technique of coloring blades depends in part upon the quenching liquid (urine tends to yellow the steel for example), and also depends upon the tempering technique.

124 and 384 layers? Strange, I would have thought that if you basically fold the steel it'd follow the 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128 etc. sequence. I wonder how they got those numbers of layers.

@KyleMeyer949

As I understand it, the term 'Damascus steel' has become more of a marketing term rather than a proper technical term.

I'm sure that the people really into arms and armour and blacksmithing know the difference between the two.

In fact Hellines propably brought steel wtih Alexander the Great ! Also it is proved from tools that where found in ancient athens next to the dig site of The parthenon that it was high carbon content that was uniform to most parts of the chisel or spike tool. And they had found steel weapon parts in Ancient Hellas

The original Damascus steel was Wootz (as was previously stated) forged using the old eastern technique which involved wrapping the ingot in hay and Clay before heating to temperature, then folded quite a few times like in western methods. Doing this, you get carbon nanotubes in the steel, which strengthens the blade far more than other methods and metals did at the time. The true art is long lost though, and the closest we can do to recreate it is by doing the old Japanese method, which may or may not be the same method they used to make Damascus steel. I haven't watched the video, but based on your comment, they are just forge welding and folding multiple metals to create a patterned steel

The original, ancient damascus steel is indeed wootz steel, but the black and white figured stuff that we call damascus steel today is "just" pattern welded. They did have certain forms of pattern welded steel back in the days too though. Now there are historical accuracy hardliners who will insist on damascus being wootz and nothing else, but damascus is most commonly used for pattern weld.

Damascus steel nowadays generally is merely referring to the look of the steel. OG Damascus steel was all wootz, and only wootz. Modern is Forge welded. Since Damascus is considered more of a look in the modern context, both are Damascus, but wootz steel is the legend stuff, not the forge welded stuff.

As of right now, there is no definitive answer to what Damascus steel truly was. While the chances are high that it was a crucible steel, it cannot be proven either way

Blacksmiths have replicated Damascus steel up to the microscopic level. It is undeniably a crucible steel. www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/9809/Verhoeven-9809.html

great video and good info, but I really don't understand the appeal of pattern welded steel. I've always found it ugly personally I want a nice smooth mirror surface or just a consistent dull flat look to my blades.
