It's used for more than knife blades. Premium shotgun barrels were often made of Damascus steel in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In fact you can currently buy a Damascus steel slide for a Colt 1911 from Caspian Arms.Damascus steel is a general term covering a lot of different combinations of layered steel, both high carbon and stainless. There are even guys out there making Damascus steel from iron meteorites.
The idea was proposed to me by a machinist and fabricator with experience in all sorts of materials from aluminum to titanium to tungsten. He has made Damascus steel himself and has access to a very high pressure press. He feels pretty confident that the press can handle the material, and the Damascus steel maker is enthused about the project too.
Like Mikey always says, I'll try anything as long as it doesn't blow up the microwave and burn down the house.
