There have allways been demands for special sword, knife and axe steels, especially when they was used as weapon. So, they use existing different type of iron/steel and mix them and they make damask steel.
What they got was a flexible hard - and soft steel that hold hard use becose it was both hard and flexible.
I think that damask steel can be called hand made special steel for edged weapons and also knifes - and it was made the first time for about 1500 years ago. Damask steel become very popular in Scandinavia by the vikings and in Japan in their swords.
