So which steel is good. Maybe you will say China steel or Nun Chuck  steel right.

In K/ later on they will say evrything from China is the best steel make on earth because k/ love to protek "orang kite" 

Yup and most expensive than katana.

Saladin use Damascus sword last time.

Won't you get cancer too holding on to depleted uranium?

The blades were generally made from metal ingots prepared in India using special recipes, which probably put just the right amount of carbon and other impurities into the iron (India map).

By following these recipes and following specific forging techniques, "craftsmen ended up making nanotubes more than 400 years ago," Paufler and his colleagues write.

When these blades were nearly finished, blacksmiths would etch them with acid. This brought out the wavy light and dark lines that make Damascus swords easy to recognize.

But it could also give the swords their sharpness, Paufler says. Because carbon nanotubes are resistant to acid, they would protect the nanowires, he theorizes.

After etching, many of these nanostructures could stick out from the blade's edge, giving it tiny saw-like teeth.

Skeptical Smiths

The techniques for making the steel were lost around A.D. 1700. But many researchers are studying how to recreate the blades—even though metallurgical experts warn that the blades, though exceptional for their time, are far outperformed by modern steels.

While some scientists have claimed success, others dispute that the reproductions are truly the same as the originals.

And many experts doubt that the new findings will clear things up.

John Verhoeven, a metallurgist at Iowa State University at Ames who has worked on reproducing the Damascus sword-making techniques, is skeptical that Paufler and his colleagues have cracked the secret of Damascus blades.

"I don't think that (the nanowires) are anything unusual," Verhoeven said. "I think those structures would be found in normal steels."
