Ok PeteM. You are an expert on this subject. Since you are an expert how do you dispel the very common myth that there is rust 'between the welds' of the Damascus or twist steel that cannot be seen with the naked eye or measured with any sort of common instrument. This is an argument used by the nonbeliever who believes these welds rust over the years, often times more than 100 years, thus rendering the Damascus steel incompetent. How do you prove to people who are more ignorant than you in terms of Damascus that this rusting process in the welds of Damascus is a myth and nothing to be concerned with? Because in the not so distant past and before I was educated by experts such as you, I used to be an ignoramus who believed Damascus was dangerous and not to be fooled with.
