What do you call those curved, thin swords that used to be made out of damascus steel? Whatever they're called, anybody else want to see a Scrapyard version?

damascus noob here..
but i've often wondered about..
folded steel was used in some of the best swords ever made..
yet.. firing an old damascus steel shotgun is NOT recommended!
always seemed kinda ironic to me..

I personally have no interest in a sword. BUT, I am sure others would like to see one from the Yard!

A parang (short sabre) type sword would be pretty cool... A res-C (big) hatchet would be pretty cool too. The DF will be a pretty awesome chopper though!
