Christmas in May

Now many people are of the oppinion that since there is Christmas in December, there should be Christmas in June (or July?), at the half-year point.  But yesterday was like a mini Christmas for me, not only did I get my newest group of Slivers, I also finaly got my Damascus steel pocket knife.  For those who don't know, Damascus steel is often reguarded as a mythical substance of awsome power, and the best choice for the blade of a weapon.  However it isn't actually steel mined in Damascus, it is a complex process involving folding many layers of steel into a single item.  My knife blade is made of 78 individual layers of folded steel, twisted and shaped red hot from the forge.  There is no blade on earth that matches the appearance of mine.  Pictures will follow later today.
