Canister damascus is the best option, and the prettiest, thanks. I can't help but wonder now how to take low carbon steel and turn it into high carbon steel.

I have drop pieces of spring steel from various projects. I was wondering if I were to melt down chunks of spring steel, cast a billet for a sword, and then forge it, would it be as strong as just forging a sword from a leaf spring. I'm no metallurgist, but it seems to me that would work as long as the remnants are all spring steel beings that all metal is cast at some point.
