Why does it have full durability? Did he repair it before coming out of the mine? Well, I guess this isn’t really the type of manhwa where attention to detail is very necessary so sure.
The original Damascus was also made by forge welding different grades of metal. They just got lucky in that the mines the were using had traces of chromium and vanadium. The “ripple” patter in Damascus can only be achieved by layering metals. IT also helps reinforce the steel because you can get the ductile durability of low carbon steel and the high edge retention and hardness of high carbon steel while minimizing the brittleness of high carbon steel and the poor edge retention and tendency to bend of low carbon steel.
Modern steels like S7, L6, and 5160 do that without the need for layering and folding.

ugh damascus is just a pattern technique it doesn’t make magical metal
astralpls
it depends, modern Damascus is pattern welded, while the og one is a metal, so idk why you’re so salty
