In his book on Bowie knives, Bill Bagwell makes the distinction that there are extremely few custom knife makers who know how to forge their own damascus steel to optimize it as a fighting knife. In other words, not very many knife makers can forge their own damascus steel into a blade with the legendary qualities of damascus steel (easy to sharpen, phenomenal edge holding, scary sharp, etc.).
What makers of knives and/or swords forge their own damascus to this quality level?
Thanks for the help.
