Various types of weapons and defences have been made from eleventh century until now for each country with their own uniqueness. However, there are some mysteries that human still cannot find the way to solve it. Damascus steel is well known as metal that typically made into weapon blades having the greatest strength and cutting ability. Many researchers showing high interest in the formulation and fabrication of the best materials that have the same performance and strength ability as the Damascus steel. There are many ways to replicate it but the most important to make Damascus steel is by fabricating it at very high temperature and having many layers with each sheet spacing over 50 microns. Nanotechnology using steel “DaMarcus” is also known as wootz that is produced from steel made in India to create the Damascus steel. Various elements with different Carbon percentages present in the iron ore. Moreover, elements such as chromium, manganese, and cobalt are combined with iron and carbon to increase the strength, sharpness, and flexibility of the steel. The sword is made using the "DaMarcus" secret steel forging technology and has a CNT (Carbon Nano Tubes) coating, making it very sharp and lightweight. A CNT is a hexagonal cylinder made of a chain of interconnected carbon atoms with a diameter of 1-2 nanometers. The cylindrical CNT may grow to tens of microns in length and can be closed at the tip section like a piece of pipe with two closed edges. The material's characterization also explains the CNT has the greatest strength compared to other materials. Therefore, these reviews highlight the potential of nanotechnology in bringing back the glory of Islamic civilization that has been lost in ages.
