True forged Damascus is extraordinarily expensive. In general, it is 33 layers folded and forged. Damascus is forged from 'wooz" steel, A high-carbon mixture of specific metals. The pattern in Damascus is achieved by the metals and the forging process. Damascus was the top tier of metal in its day, but modern metals and forging processes can produce tougher and sharper blades. True Damascus forging is a lost art. Modern techniques cannot reproduce the "Damasuc effect." There are modern blacksmiths who study the lost art and they can specifically replicate as close as possible wooz steel ingots (molecular tube structures) and the art of forging and folding. These blades are valued at 10s of thousands of dollars.
