My damascus knives were hand forged from billets. I watched one being made. 320 layers in them. You will have a much greater appreciation for the makers and the blades after watching the process. It is a slow, hot, tedious job. "No barrels were harmed during the making of these blades". grin

All of mine made by Habersham Forge (Ivan Boggs).
