I understand that Damascus steel and Katana steel have certain qualities e.g maintaining sharpness flexibility shock resistance etc, has anybody made a knife  by forging or cutting your knife blank, but thinner, the same thickness of the desired edge out of a high carbon steel, HHS etc etc, then covering both sides in weld then grinding it down? I know it sounds cheap but wouldn’t this make a high quality knife if done well? could you make a steel hunting bow this way?

I was wondering if you can make Damascus steel from welding chain to some chrome bicycle rims? It's my understanding that chrome plating is made of Chromium? with this in turn make a stainless steel hybrid?
