"Damascus steel" = thép Damascus -> nghĩa là loại thép rèn kiếm truyền thống ở vùng Trung Đông, với các vân kim loại đặc trưng hình nước chảy. Các thanh kiếm được làm từ loại thép này rất chắc chắn, bền bỉ, lưỡi đàn hồi tốt và có thể mài rất sắc.

Along with a headline (tiêu đề) about carbohydrate cravings that could’ve been written today, the paper revealed the story of Damascus steel, a material that’s now well known among knife makers and owners, if not widespread. But before the late 20th century, Damascus was still the stuff (món đồ) of legends.
Its real-world counterpart tracks a similar history; whether due to the replacement of swords by firearms or the depletion (rút hêt) of the quarries (mỏ) where the raw material for wootz came from, or any other number of speculative theories, the practice of making authentic (đáng tin cậy) Damascus steel was lost.
The process is rigorous (nghiêm ngặt) and hands-on and as such, most Damascus steel comes from the workshops of craftsmen like Devin Thomas, Chad Nichols and Brad Vice, to name a few.
So why don’t we see more Damascus blades? “The number one issue is pure cost,” says The James Brand’s Ryan Coulter. Damascus steel knives also require some coddling.
