Question: Hopefully this won't require a very technical answer, but do you know how the Damascus pattern was made with a single type of steel? Was it etched? The only Damascus method I'm aware of is layering and folding (or twisting to make star patterns) different types of steel, like 1095 and 15N20 (not a bladesmith, but that's what they often use on Man at Arms: Reforged on YouTube).

It’s 200 layers of AEB L and 302 stainless. After grinding it’s etched in ferric acid to reveal the pattern. But yes it’s forged welded and stacked to creat this pattern called ‘typhoon’
