You're right about cable damascus. If there is any more difficult damascus to make I don't know of it. Further, almost any piece of cable you pick up anywhere is very likely NOT suitable for the purpose. Even some of the cable that is suitable needs to be taken apart strand by strand so that the unsuitable parts can be removed. Not for the faint of heart!
For now, go buy some blade steel. At the very least, buy some cable from a knife supply house like Sheffield's. At least then you'll know that even though you're still likely to be wasting your time and money that the possibility of success was there if you could do the work ....
