So it's day one. My strategy going into
building this blade is that I'm going to make
a couple of test blades. We're just making a smaller
billet of the same Damascus so I can test out
some heat treating options and see how tough
I can make it, 'cause if anything breaks
I'd rather it be this than the real one. The most crucial part
of this build is whatever I have to do
to get it through the testing. I can make the prettiest thing
in the world. If it snaps in two,
I'm gonna lose
