    The other thing you might like to know is how the rose and ladder patterns get into the surface of the damascus steel. Each 'rose' begins as a hole drilled into the surface of the damascus. With enough hammering the metal layers will flow into the hole and create the round pattern we call a rose. Similarly, the ladder pattern is created with superficial saw cuts across the blade.
