I've heard it's difficult to get an accurate Rockwell on damascus because of the alternating layers.
I'll send Lorien the pics later tonight. I'm really liking this blade... it's curvy and organic looking, but man could you lop somebody's arm off with it. Er... uh.... um.... I mean somebody's tree branches. Yea, tree branches. :foot:
I do wish Jason Knight was closer so we could see if the blade makes a light saber sound when he waves it around.
