Weapon craftsmanship has a long and significant history in Arab culture. Traditional weapon makers, like the craftsman in this clip, often create beautifully decorated daggers and swords. Historically, such weapons were symbols of status and skill, often passed down through generations. Damascus steel was prized for its hardness and sharp edge, making it ideal for swords and daggers. The steel's ability to bend without breaking and retain a sharp edge made it superior to many other weapons. Damascus steel weapons were highly valued and often traded among nobility, symbolizing power and status.
