Damascus Blades
Long esteemed as the ultimate sword steel, true wootz
Damascus has superior qualities that provide exceptional toughness, edge
retention and flexibility. Today, most true Damascus steel swords are located
in museums.
The making of these wootz Damascus blades was long considered a lost art,
but a technological breakthrough at Angel Sword has recreated the qualities
of the legendary wootz Damascus steel.
Laboratory tests have confirmed that Techo-Wootz™ Damascus has the
same properties of ancient wootz or bulat steels at the microscopic level.
Angel Sword is one of just a handful of forges that are working in this amazing
steel. The fine crystalline structure of our Techno-Wootz™ Damascus
blades gives our Avatar blades the same aggressive cutting edge as the Damascus
swords of old.
Master Swordsmith Daniel Watson hand forges each Avatar of Techno-Wootz™
Damascus steel, working beautiful patterns into the steel. Some of these patterns
are random, but others are deliberately worked into the blade, such as Celtic
knots, dragons or mountains, depending on the artisitic vision for the blade.
After the blade is forged it receives our advanced heat and cryo
treatment to enhance the properties of the steel. An acid wash is then
applied to the blade to reveal the Damascus pattern worked into the steel.
Our Avatar Damascus blades open a new horizon in the sword
maker’s art.
