[TheForge] Damascus

Tue Apr 2 10:50:01 2002

And if you want to know about Damascus I would suggest a book entitled On
Damascus Steel, it tells about the history, the methods involved in both
making and working with it, and shows some really neat examples of it, both
swords and firearms. I have Hrisoulas books and videos on pattern welded
steels and blades and would recommend them. He makes it look easy.
