History of Damascus Steel
Damascus swords and knives were historically forged using ingots of wootz steel from India and Sri Lanka. The main characteristics of these blades were their unique water flow pattern, strength, and sharpness. These Damascus knives and swords were a game-changer of their era, and their popularity spread across countries.
Historical mentions of this type of steel have given rise to many legends relating to its strength and sharpness. However, since either the wootz ores depleted or the technique was lost, we no longer have access to the original methods and resources. This brings much mystery and interest surrounding Damascus steel knives, and today, multiple cultural references link to Damascus. For example, the exceptionally strong Valayrian steel in the Song and Fire series (and the Game of Thrones franchise) seems to be inspired by Damascus.
In this modern age, the pattern-welding method is the widely accepted technique to develop hand-forged Damascus knives since we no longer have the wootz ore to produce the original. The method involves forging a blade using several types of metal and steel slices into a billet, which is drawn out and folded many times until the desired number of layers has been achieved. This folding technique gives the knives the characteristic flowy pattern of Damascus steel.

Damascus knives make a great gift for a hunter. The blade retains its edge in harsh conditions when others have to be whetted time and again to continue being useful. But with Damascus steel knives, hunting in all weather conditions becomes easier!
