jmccustomknives Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 According to ABS master smith Wayne Goddard in his book "The Wonder of Knifemaking" he defined Damascus steel as any steel that shows a pattern. He further stated that the term needed to be modified with what it is. Cable damascus, pattern welded damascus, carbon nickle damascus, and so on.

Steve Sells Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If this is true what about alloy banding, and where does that fall into this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBower Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well, that's Wayne's definition. I don't think I agree with it. But of course I don't like to use the term damascus at all, because it's confusing; it can mean several different things. I do say cable damascus, though, because I'm too lazy to come up with a better term that's as easy to say. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
