DropLockBob: The knives are really sharp (I have several) and all Damascus looks good to me (for some reason?).
It's my understanding that even the infamous Viking swords of the Middle-ages were treasured because they were Damascus as well. How Damascus steel (or Wootz steel) ended-up in nowhere Scandinavia way-back then is quite the mystery to me (I'm sure there's some theory about it all somewhere). Damascus is pretty neat stuff and I'm glad somebody is still making things with it. More power to them.
If you like Viking swords, you might find this Nova program on them, rather interesting. There is, I think, another version of this video which focuses more specifically on the remaking of this sword from ore to final form that is one of the best ways to spend an hour that I know of.
