Forging Damascus

I have had the opportunity to do some more forging this year at a friends 103 year old smithy.

It was quite the experience working in it. While he has modern tools in it, some of the other tools were originals from his granddad.

We made some different patterns, one of them being the San Mai Wakazashi on my gallery pages.

Some other patterns were made as well and are currently being turned into knives. Those will be posted, as soon as they are done.
