Not really. The technique is well known and pretty simple. If there are differences between old and modern Damacus steel, it's mostly down to impurities in materials, but you can get all kinds of different results depending on material and technique. Some are vary similar to the original. Damascus steel, old or new, is kind of shitty for practical purposes when compared to ordinary, good quality tool steel we have now, so it's all about the looks anyway.
