[QUOTE="randallss7, post: 3708228, member: 24507"] I work with pattern welded steel a lot. since it has some rust you can assume its a high carbon pattern welded steel. The good thing about it is you can sand it down or clean it without too much worry, If you remove or lighten the pattern, you then simply re-etch the steel to bring the pattern back out. I can help you with this however you have to assume the risk there is always a risk when the exact type of steel is unknown. I attached some pics of some Damascus knives I just finished so you can see what sanded Damascus looks like, 1st pic is basically shaped sanded Damascus blank cut from a larger billet, next pic the blades have been deeply etched, then the finished product.
