Geez mike, I surely did not mean to imply that I had made that knife. The closest I ever came to mosaic damaskus was digging a stub out of the garbage that Ron Newton threw away.
 I got that link from the primal fires Wootz and Pattern welding forum. If you are interested go there for some good reading on the subject. Sorry for the confusion. Wootz and pattern welding __________________ "Many are chosen, but few are Pict" "The doer alone, learneth" NT Neo-Devo

Just a few words about what is regarded as "the scramasaxe era" in France : Merovingian dinasty of Francs kings beginning with Clovis in 481 and ending with Chilp?ric in 751. During that time , the scramasaxe was the all around knife and is found in tombs of warriors and peasants alike.
After the 8-9 th century, catholic religion became official religion and prevented the burial with weapons, tools , table-ware... ELDE __________________ ELDE

That makes sense Elde. That the pattern continued, but the burial customs changed. Good logical thought. Here is another nice pattern by Jordan. Everyone see the video?
