Hello All, I am Ric Furrer of www.doorcountyforgeworks.com Here is a series of photos showing how a wootz crucible steel sword is made. This is NOT pattern welded damascus, but rather a special steel which gets its pattern from its chemistry and forging techniques and NOT by folding and welding. It is a small batch process which I have been doing for some 12 years now. Also note the forged in fuller (groove) and the wonderful 24karat gold fittings. I make wootz as well as damascus steel (pattern-welded)swords and knives
