This course introduces the concept of forge welding cable to create patterns in the steel.  This not only makes attractive blades, but also a very tough, flexible blade that keeps a great edge. This process is called "pattern welding" or sometimes "Damascus" after the city which made the process famous.

The  finished blade is then etched in acid to bring out the patterns of the different parts of the cable - often with dramatic results.
