I want to make my own knife someday, just to be able to say I made it. Don't know where to begin though. I guess it is time to hit YouTube.
Those are beautiful pieces! Duke Nivram

Been thinking it'd be a cool craft to try too. I'm fortunate to have a school somewhat near to me.

Never thought about a school. I'm in Los Angeles, there has to be one around here.

What's exactly is special about Damascus steel? I've heard about it in old tyme movies and video games... But nothing specific ?

True, historical Damascus steel is a lost art - nobody now knows how it was really made. It did outperform many other steels of the time but modern techniques can create steels of similar or better performance.
Modern Damascus steel (which is about all you'll run into) uses a technique called pattern welding to create something that resembles the original. It's very beautiful but that's really the only value-add, the aesthetics.
Was waiting for that.
Danasteel uses a different process too.
What I really want is some timascus, but its a bit pricey and I haven't found it in the size I needSimilar threads
