There's an intersting link to a German master Smith's website at:

To see the photos once you get to the site, click on the word:
Abbildungen
Heinz Denig has written 2 excellent books on making pattern welded steel and has been a German Master Blacksmith since 1960. If you can read German - or just want to look at the pics - be sure to check out his books. They can be ordred directly from him.
Denig will be making the steel for 4 knives of mine which I hope to have ready by the end of the summer. One of the knives will be the Hunter's Thorn model with 3 band torsion damascus and a hot welded on high carbon cutting edge. This pattern is similiar to the folder shown on his site ( the folder was made by Peter Herbst .)
Too bad the books aren't available in english translation...
