Rarity accompanied me when I went to make a Damascus steel knife on a blacksmithing course.

(It was really hard to do and honestly, most of it was done by the nice helpful blacksmith staff teaching me! I did expect it to be very hard work and my goodness, it certainly was.)

In Herefordshire, in England.

The secrets behind some of history's advanced ancient inventions, from the Byzantine's enigmatic Greek fire to the Roman glassmaker's elusive vitrum flexile, have been lost, leaving us mystified by the remarkable innovations crafted by our ancestors thousands of years ago.

The legendary universal antidote, Mithridatium, perfected by King Mithridates VI and Nero's physician, featured a concoction of opium, chopped vipers, and ancient wisdom.

Archimedes' heat-ray weapon, inspiring modern warfare, found its echo in DARPA's 2001 unveiling of a heat-ray weapon

The fascinating stories behind these timeless creations continue to inspire wonder, from the rediscovery of Damascus steel, blending ancient craftsmanship with modern insights and nanotechnology, to the mysteries of lost inventions now thriving in the modern era.

I’ve been spending the last few weeks on a project in Blender and forgot I wanted to post some things so here’s a few small things

Procedural Damascus Steel material.

I can change the pattern and stuff and it’s cool

Spheres with different settings before I settled on the one above

Early Version of a Card Back for that project I’m working on

Followed a quick and easy tutorial on how to animate fish using modifiers so I took the phantom shark model and ended up with The Skrungle and The Chonk

Took the model of the Bloodskin shark from the Dave the Diver crossover and rigged it for a simple animation

An attempt at a procedural labradorite material and a glass donut (experiment with different shader materials and grease pencil)

K that’s it for now

"Elsie" meets "Tom"

By Jim Heffelfinger

I was determined to hunt this special bird, a Gould's turkey, with my great-grandfather's 1894 L.C. “Elsie” Smith side-by-side, Damascus steel, double hammer, double barrel 12-gauge. A great friend of mine had the cracked stock fixed on this family heirloom as a Christmas present to me. He also loaded up some No. 6 shot reduced-power loads with Pyrodex that was safe for firing in the 130-year-old Damascus steel barrels. My son Wyatt agreed to come along and help which was special to me because it was Wyatt who got me into turkey hunting in the first place.

We were mostly big game hunters, but when Wyatt was 10 years old and a brand-new hunter education graduate, he told me he wanted to hunt turkeys because he loved dinosaurs so much. With the help of some friends and youth turkey hunting camps, we learned together and became quite good at it. After I called in both Merriam’s gobblers he harvested up to that point, he returned the favor on this hunt. 

The fourth gobbler we talked to that day was a stubborn bird with commitment issues. He was hot to answer every hen yelp with a gobble, but would not cross a deep ditch between us and him at 50 yards. The reduced-power loads I was using means I needed a 30-yard shot or closer. I thought he figured out a way around the ditch but the hen he was with started walking away.

Predictably, he followed her up an open, pine-covered hill. Wyatt called and called more aggressively but the tom kept gobbling as he walked out of our lives. When the tom neared the top of the hill I decided I had no choice but to try to sneak up the hill and make something happen on the other side. Wyatt called aggressively to keep him gobbling and cover my rapid stalk up the hill after him. The big tom answered him almost every time, but then fell silent as I approached the top of the hill. Wyatt followed me far behind calling more aggressively to make it sound like the hen was following him.

As I approached the top of the hill, I started sneaking and carefully looking into the clump of pine trees where I last saw him when suddenly he gobbled in my left ear! He had circled back and surprised me because of Wyatt’s aggressive yelps from the bottom of the hill. I swung Ol’ Elsie to the left, put the bead at the base of his head and squeezed the front trigger. The shotgun roared with a belch of gray smoke and the turkey fell where it stood.

The old heirloom did its job just as it did countless times on small game in my great-grandfather Frank's hands. I am lucky I didn't have time to think about the shot or I would have surely missed. The bird was 21 pounds, had an 11-inch beard and 1 1/8-inch spurs.

Bladesmith Uses Ancient Meteorites to Create Artistic Knives

Bladesmith Tristan Dare is known for his creative knife designs made of unusual materials. And not only are the materials unconventional, but they're also ancient. Dare, who is based in Idaho, often uses meteorites to create his blades, giving new meaning to something that is billions of years old. In his latest design, he has combined a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite and Damascus steel into a blade that he calls Fire in the Sky.
