That film gave me a whole new respect for that craft and the craftsmen that did the work.
Thanks for the link.

How did they put names in ? My guess was a lot of wasted Damascus till they got it right.

Like all of us, I too was astounded by no eye/ear protection or gloves. I'll bet the craftsmen said they had to feel the steel to work it properly. Wooden shoes! I had a pair once and they are more comfortable than one might think. I love those twist barrels and own four. One rifle, one muzzle loading shotgun, a Parker and a Smith. After reading all that Sherman Bell wrote about shooting damascus, I do it with confidence.

Wow, no glasses, gloves or ear protection! Wooden shoes. I'll bet the craftsman said that they had to "feel" the steel in order to work it properly. My Parker GH
