BTW I have done some reading and found out that the Toledo blades mentioned earlier were actually made of true Damascus(wootz) steel, when Spain was ruled by Muslims. So this does not contradict what Ive said about Damascus steel being the strongest ancient steel. The type of wootz made in Spain was Sham wootz which was made by Arabs, and this was inferior to Persian and Indian wootz.
