Lack of what?

Oh No! :(

You expect a CNN Correspondent to give you a straight answer to that kind of question! good luck with that.

Hey, I might be a little late here but would appreciate an answer very much.

Have you ever tried/tested weapons made of Damascus? I have read and heard stories that Damascus weapons were very powerful and hardly ever break in combat, is that true?

Hey thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. True, some of the reputation was exaggerated that is for sure, but as you said they were very strong for its time I personally find very impressive the amount of research (mostly trial and error at that time), craftsmanship and patience that lead to the invention of the Damascus steel.

Thank you again for the answer :)
