As olive wood is a natural product, variations in colour and grain are quite normal. Each knife is therefore a unique piece with its own characteristics and patterns.

The terms Damascus steel, damascene, or pattern welded designate a composite steel forged from two or more different kinds of steel. It is named after its birthplace, the Syrian city of Damascus, an ancient stronghold of patterned steel production. As a common practice, a harder steel with high carbon content and a softer steel with low carbon content are repeatedly forge-welded and folded together. The high carbon steel ensures greater hardness, better temperability and more lasting edge retention, while the softer steel imparts greater blade flexibility and tensile strength. This procedure, which arose at a time when steel qualities were often low and inconsistent, enables combining the positive attributes of the various steel grades. Additionally, the differing hues generated by the varying carbon content of the alternating layers result in strikingly beautiful patterns, such as the twisted motif called Torsion Damascus pattern or the Rose Damascus pattern. Undoubtedly, these unusual patterns partly explain why inherent magical properties were attributed to the Damascus steel blades of the Middle Ages.
