it is not. there are plenty of Damascus steel swords left. Saudi king has one. the method to produce has been lost and the best swords in the world are Damascus steel made. even more deadly than Japanese katana.

the katana is one of the most useless sword around if you talk about strength. myth jer that it is strong.

Depends.. for their purposes it is the best. It is very thin and very sharp.. you can kill someone in armor because the plates don't fit perfectly, all you have to do is find a thin gap in the armor.. smile.gif but yea it is thin and snaps easily, but if you are fast and accurate, it can be quite dangerous smile.gif

Maybe damascus steel is good for bladed-weapon only, and not so durable as armor material.
