  1. How to Create Damascus Patterns - BLADE Magazine

    The layer counts are only a starting point and you may find that you prefer more or less. In specialized damascus patterns, such as radials or jellyrolls, far fewer layers are needed. It is also possible to forge weld sections of high- and low-layer bars into one billet and get a high contrast through patterning. Patterning of the flat laminated bi...

    More advanced patterns include the “W’s” design, and mosaic damascus. With the “W’s” pattern, the initial billet is stacked just like a flat-layered billet, and welded. Then, during the drawing process, the billet is rotated 90 degrees and forged into a rectangular bar with vertical layers. This bar is then ground free of scale, cut into pieces and...

Cut this bar into four pieces and stack them into a 2-inch-by-2-inch square, with the horizontal layers in two opposing corners, and the ver...

A bar can be cut into four pieces, stacked into a square billet of two rows of two pieces, and forge welded. This is referred to as a “four-way.” The bar can also be cut into nine pieces and stacked into three rows o...

There are several different methods that can be used to open a bar like an accordion, and I use one suggested to me by Don Fogg. The damascus bar is forged to final dimensions and...
