How Do You Care For Damascus Steel?

Damascus steel is a type of layered steel once commonly used in sword-making, although the process has now been lost. The steel was originally made into cakes, a metallurgical term meaning to fold and fuse together layers of metal, in India and then shipped to Damascus, Syria, where the city’s renowned blacksmiths and metal workers shaped it into swords. Today, metal workers still make swords from Damascus steel, and jewelry designers fashion it into rings or bracelets. Regardless of what the item is, the process of caring for Damascus steel is relatively simple. Polish Damascus steel regularly with a polishing cloth. If the Damascus steel is in the form of a ring, do this done once a week. If the Damascus steel is on a decorative blade, you should polish it once every three months or more often if you use it often. Sharpen blades if they become dull.
