Here is a great vid on making a pattern welded damascus blade !!! Hope you don't have dial-up http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/tv/rvu/werkenaanwerk/bb.20031007.rm
That was something. I liked the finished product. I can see some people are just jealous of his abilities. If he produces more blades such as that one, he is indeed a great craftsman. I would buy it. Could have a couple nitpicks about it though I give it a 9.5 I'd go for either an all black handle or a darker wood as I don't want to shine. The blade pattern is too busy for my taste. I'd prefer a less graphic presentation of the steel. Great vid.
