Do you have a power hammer or did you forge it by hand ??? Thanks! The damascus is made by Norbert Bahls and Achim Wirtz, two guys from germany with LOADS of experience in steel and damascus forging. This billet is from a giant billet forged a 15 years ago. Regards Nicolas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
