The legend of Damascus steel dates back over a thousand years. Forged by master swordsmiths, these blades were prized for their incredible strength, flexibility, and the mesmerizing “watered” pattern that set them apart. At Battling Blades, we preserve that tradition through authentic forging methods—layering multiple steels to create powerful, beautiful blades that honor the ancient art of Damascus craftsmanship.
Each Battling Blades weapon is unique, featuring its own swirl and pattern born from hours of heating, folding, and hammering. Our artisans use high-carbon and nickel steels for optimal hardness and edge retention, creating blades that perform as impressively as they look.
Care and Maintenance
Keep your blade clean and dry after use.
Apply a light coat of oil regularly to prevent oxidation.
Avoid long-term storage in leather sheaths, which can trap moisture.
