Just for trivia:
Actually, it's Damascus blades. They are made by layering high
carbon steel which is very hard, but brittle, with softer, more
pliable steel. This ideally yields a blade that will hold an
edge, but that will not shatter if bashed against some poor fool's
noggin!
There's a city over in Turkey (or nearby..forget my geography)
called Damascus... I would hazzard a guess that folks from there
invented it, but I don't really know. Anyone know? Been meaning
to shore up that piece of my trivia knowledge for a while :)
