--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Part 5 of the Lotus Flower Damascus series, we take a huge step forward—forging the knife itself! After all the meticulous prep work and pattern development, it's finally time to bring this blade to life. I shape the blade and get it ready for the critical plug weld stage, where the patterned steel will be fused into the final billet.
