Did not read it. Is this about a birth in Kenya 53 years ago of a gay man child to a common trollop whose own parents were communists?
“The Birth Of A Tool”
Is this about Obama?
It was discovered that the secret of the original Damascus steel was accidental, and they did not know how to reproduce it except by chance. It was Buckminsterfullerene, aka “bucky balls”.
Randomly, one of their swords would have a greater than average amount of it in their steel, making that blade exceptional: stronger, less brittle, with a sharper edge.
Because these blades were so special, all Damascus steel was highly prized. For the most part they were ordinary, however.
When I was a kid in the 50s I used to see Mora Knives from Sweden advertised in the outdoor magazines. They were made of three layers, the middle of hard steel laminated between two layers of softer iron.
They looked very simple and inexpensive with an ordinary looking wooden handle but they had a great reputation.
