Laminated steel--also known as Damascus steel--is created by combining strips of steel and iron through hammer-welding, repeated heating, and forging. The process creates distinctive layered patterns that are intrinsic to the steel. Join local blacksmiths to create two three-pound "billets" of laminated steel that you'll use to create a handled herb chopper and a wearable item of your choice (such as a cuff bracelet, pendant, or belt buckle).
