You can get actual Damascus items too, not merely the cheap decorative version. For example, there is this smithy that is local to me: https://www.darksword-ar

From your link: > also known as pattern welded steel swords Pattern welded steel is not the same thing as the ‘original’ Damascus steel from 1000+ years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wootz_steel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wootz_steel

  In that sense, I agree. I mainly wanted to highlight that there are "Damascus"-style products that are more than regular steel with laser etched patterns.

Nobody makes actual Damascus steel. Layering multiple steels and forge welding them is not how Damascus steel was made.
