Description: I have a few new extras of this now very hard to find reference book. Many bladesmiths consider Manfred Sachse's Damascus Steel: Myth, History, Technology, Applications to be the reference on Damascus steel. In it, Dr. Sachse, explores both information critical to the bladesmith and to the custom knife collector. He discusses in depth the construction techniques used for historic knives and looks at the work being done by modern makers.This work is extremely rare to find in the English edition and has been out of print for some time.Chapters include: "Swords - the Myth and the Magic," "What is Damascus Steel and How is it Produced," "From the Celt to the Modern Collector's Knife, " "Bushido - the Code of Honour of Japan's Samurai Swordsmen," "Wootz - the true Damascus Steel," "Oriental Pattern-Welded Damascus Steel," "Kris - the Indonesian Weapon of the Gods," "Damascus Barrels, Service and Ceremonial Weapons," "Classic Damascus Swords Sabers, and Daggers," "Fake Damask and Methods of Identification," "Care and Restoration of Damascus Steel," "Non-Weapon Damask Artifacts and Damascene-Like Articles," and "New Developments in Damascus Steel."Hardcover: 255 pagesPublisher: Verlag Stahleisen (1994)Language: English This is a large heavy book about 4 pounds.Product Dimensions: 10.25 X 12.75 X .75 inches PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES AS THIS IS ALSO PART OF THE DISCRIPTION.
