Many years ago, my father was overseas in WW2, and visited Damascus as part of his deployment. He saw smiths making genuine Damascus steel in what he described as little square cubicles. He often spoke of the level of craftsmanship that could be achieved with simple tools and a dedication to the craft (he was an old carpenter from 'way back...)
Nice bit of steel Alex, well done mate.
