johnbaz 363 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi allA fewf years ago I attended a series of lectures at Sheffield University about Damascus steels and other metalurgy related topics, This was followed by a smashing dinner at the Town Hall, Everyone that attended was handed a folder with a Damasteel billet, a copy of the Damasteel handbook and a booklet telling what the lectures were about..Each attendee got the same but with differing billet patterns, I received a 'Grosse Rosen' billet, It's gawjuss with what looks like cartwheels in the pattern (Supposed to be 'Big Roses'!!)I've not got the ability to grind it and would most likely louse it up but I intend to have it ground/made up by a decent maker, It will have to wait though as i've been off work for almost a year with a gammy knee!!! Here's the billet with just a very light etch I actually have one of the Pakistani blades and was surprised when I ran a file down the edge and it skated straight down, It's really quite hard!!!
