Actually...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel

"A team of researchers based at the Technical University of Dresden that uses x-rays and electron microscopy to examine Damascus steel discovered the presence of cementite nanowires[7] and carbon nanotubes.["

Wow, its even more amazing than anyone expected. To think that back in mideval times they were making carbon nanotubes.

But true Dasmacus steel was forged by a lost process, which hasn't been known since the 1700s. Therefore, what you are talking about is not true Damascus steel.

It would take around 5 years(literally) to get an exact copy of blacksmithing, but, there are a few main stages

1.prospecting a rock
2,mining the rock
3,identifing the rock
4,melting the rock
5,pouring melted rock into old
6,cooling
7,trimming
8,killing 5000 dragons
