Some more pics of Damascus which is different to folded steel as used on Japanese Katana .
It will vary in layers from say 176 to 520 layers folded umpteen times..
Seki City and San Mai would be top of the range with cold steel and prices would reflect that.
Pakistan Damascus is at the lower end, the quality is not there
That looks bloody awesome TD
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
Yeah awesome stuff , Give google a go on its history and how its made.
the real Damascus recipe is lost, so they only think this is the way it was made.
Japanese folded steel has a long tradition and it may take 10 master craftsmen to make one sword
100s of hours polishing it, yeah I love it

@ STROPP just looking at your Katana whats missing is a bit of sting ray skin. the small item on the handle is called a menuki or similar.
Some had full stingray on the handle others had cord holding the skin and menuki in place. The Menuki is for grip . I also like the swirls on
the blade like waves or clouds. Maybe you could cover it with cling wrap so you don't lose any more pieces.
@ Kallen when ever you work on a knife once you have the edge on it tape it up or make a universal guard.
Haven't cut myself yet but would think it is very easy to lose a digit. lol

Have just entered a forum KITH. (knife in the hat)
20 of us amateurs are producing a knife and come Easter Monday our names will be drawn and we send our product to one of the 19 other people and we receive on in return..
latest addition. rescue knife with led torch, flint striker, half serrated liner lock blade, seatbelt cutter, window breaker and belt clip.
I like it, be very handy for the car.
I wonder how that will go down with the coppers.
Am I carrying safety equipment or am I carrying a deadly weapon. Hmmmmm
