The term "Damascus" steel in modern times
refers to the very evident grain pattern in the steel. The steel is folded and
forge welded onto itself over and over again, similar to making flaky biscuits.
Once the process has been completed, the metal stock is hammered and formed,
then filed down to the finished knife shape. After completion the metal is treated
with mild acid to bring out the visual layers. The layering effect is actually
the impurities on the outside metal surface, folded onto itself each time. The
acid wash removes a miniscule amount of the impure metal which produces the
effect.
Many blacksmiths pride themselves in their ability to perform this process using
their forge and anvil. All of the work is very time consuming and laborious
but the finished product is worth the effort. The "Damascus" process
is usually worked with very hard material, so once finished, the knives hold
and keep a very sharp edge.

Nude CDV. In the mid 1800's, photography became a very popular
fashion. CDV's (Cartes de Visite) were a sort of calling card, and by the many
millions that still exist today, they must have been the most popular fad going
(1855-1900). Everything that could be photographed, was photographed. The most
popular CDV's were of people, but one can find just about anything photographed
and printed in this format. I believe that the first photographer did not go
looking for a tree or a bowl of fruit to photograph. A very popular subject
then (as now) was the artful pose of a nude woman. There exist many thousand
images of this nature, and there have been many books published on the subject
(I mean period images, not the modern stuff!). These "Naughty" cards
were distributed through the period bordellos as well as in other discreet locations.
Many soldiers would have carried items of this nature, as described in the book-
"The Story the Soldiers Wouldn't Tell, Sex in the Civil War" by Tom
Lowry (available in our General Books section). Our CDV's are exact copies of
period photographs. The cards are authentic even with a period backmark. The
cards are not censored, however, there is nothing distasteful. We have 12 different
cards right now. Individual orders will be our choice. You can specify a pose
if we have it in stock. You must be 18 to purchase these cards...........................
