My understanding of true Damascus steel is that it's likely two different crystaline structures, one more ductile (so it can compress to absorb more energy without failing) and the other more brittle (which can hold a sharper edge).y understanding of true Damascus steel is that it's likely two different crystaline structures, one more ductile (so it can compress to absorb more energy without failing) and the other more brittle (which can hold a sharper edge).
Damascus (Arabic: Ø¯ÙØ´Ùââ Dimashq IPA: [ËdimaÊq]) is the capital and the largest city of Syria after Aleppo prior to the civil war. It is now most likely the largest city of Syria, due to the decline in population of Aleppo because of the ongoing battle for the city. It is commonly known in Syria as ash-Sham (Arabic: Ø§ÙØ´Ø§Ùââ ash-ShÄm) and nicknamed as the City of Jasmine (Arabic: ÙØ¯ÙÙØ© Ø§ÙÙØ§Ø³ÙÙÙââ MadÄ«nat al-YÄsmÄ«n). In addition to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Damascus is a major cultural and religious centre of the Levant.
