Damascus Steel - A millennial Chinese Cultural Heritage
Traveling back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Chinese blacksmiths embarked on an inventive journey. Using a technique called Pattern Welding, they skillfully layered different metals, applying heat and expertise to forge exceptional blades. As time flowed, these methods evolved through dynasties, like the Song (960-1279 AD) and Ming (1368-1644 AD), resulting in intricate patterns and remarkable strength.
