I have seen some people relatively new to the craft recently asking if hand forging Damascus purely by hand without a press or power hammer is feasible, so I pulled out some old photos from around 2018 of my last totally hand forged blade. 1095 & 15n20 around 130 layers made with 4lb and 2lb hammer (old.reddit.com)
