Joe Caswell in Thousand Oaks hand forges knives and swords. His work is incredible. The gorgeous patterns of the twisted bars, yet the blade is light and flexible. Unfortunately he is now moving to mass produced knives. no video, but look at this blade

also check his visual guide to Damascus steel. Click on each number to see the actual steel bars.
