Damascus Paper

[Matt Walker]

A while back Jim Prill and I led a Damascus module during our Local forge group workshop. For the workshop, I started writing a small paper on how I make damascus. It turned out bigger than I had intended. Some of the guys in the workshop encouraged me to send it to a magazine. Well it did get published in Knives Illustrated. So now it's on my site (both versions) as PDFs here http://www.matthewdwalker.com/damasc...r_knives_.html if you want to check it out.. If you have a slow connection I think the first one loads faster.

Thanks for the credit Matt! Nice piece of work. I have to concur with Jim...you spelled my name wrong too...but thats OK..... everybody does.

Sorry Dr. Jim and Ed, At least I hope you trust my intentions were good.
The fact that you both approve means a lot to me.
