I don't know for sure, but if I were to make a guess I would say that it is not a new innovation as Damascus steel blades have been around since the middle ages and feel certain that this pattern has been produced long before the 1900s, although as with any product, processes are refined. Back then the Damascus blade was considered state of the art weaponry and considered to be the magic sword by those who faced it in battle . the secret of making it was closely guarded and could only be afforded by those who could afford them , mostly noblemen. The mystic was enhanced by swordsmen in battle who's Damascus swords could slice their opponent's blades in half.
