Forging Damascus steel

[Marc]

For those interested in blade-smithing, there is a lot of knife making on you tube that is almost all cutting and grinding work.
I am not saying it is wrong, it is a form of, lets say steel carving, but certainly not smithing.

So from that, to Damascus steel forging there is a long distance.
I hope you enjoy this modern way to produce one of the best blade steel of all times.
