They just "call" them damascus steel. They are not the real deal nor are they similar in properties.

These custom blades are produced either through acid etching.

Or through slightly different metals being heated, folded, hammered and otherwise manipulated just enough to produce a 'Damasus pattern' or 'Damascus effect'.
