Was surprised at how smooth each piece was. Just cleaned the protective coating, and off to fun I go.

Open it up and start grinding or wipe it down and its ready for some forge welding. Would recommend.

made a billet of damascus 72 layers and twisted. absolutely no contrast in layers. Tried and tried to get it to show up. Even tried hardening and etched again. Spent several hours and gas all wasted. Steel would only etch grey. Should have read more reviews. Scam, dont buy. I have made Many, many billets of damascus and have never failed to get a contrast when etching.
