   Quite.   
      
   If anyone is listening, I'd rather like to know the recommended pattern   
   of forging Damascus blades - I know how to make it for gun barrels, but   
   the reasons for using Damascus steel in knives and guns are different.   
      
   I have a puukko whose blade *SEEMS* to be Damascus, and it is quite   
   unlike the twist or Rose Damascus of an old gun.   
      
   http://www.girolle.co.uk/temp/scandknife04a.jpg - the puukko is the one   
   on the right. (The other is Swedish, Circa 1940)
