[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Good vid

Steve Sunk makes weapons using the same techniques as ancient bladesmiths. He can copy and make any design people bring him. What’s unique about his blades is he makes the steel himself; Damascus is his most popular. Like his knives, Steve has a tough exterior – but there is an underlying gracefulness in his creation of knives and the patterns they yield. Steve’s passion for blade making provides stress relief from teaching as a Master Chef at Charles Darwin University. He lives just outside Darwin in the top end of Australia.

I think the modern smiths have made reasonable copies of Damascus. I have a friend who makes swords and knives for the ren fairs and such, and he can make some gorgeous Damascus steel.
