"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
MAHATMA GANDHI

What a fantastic video Skeetshot. Thanks so much for sharing. This is called pattern welded Damascus or Faux Damascus. This is made in India as well. The making of genuine Wootz Damascus was a very different process. I'll post a some material for you if you are interested in reading more.
