Abstract
The recent article by Verhoeven et al. criticizing the Wadsworth-Sherby (W--S) mechanism for developing genuine Damascus steel patterns is reviewed. It is concluded that the experimental processing methods originally proposed and described in detail by W-S were not in fact followed by Verhoeven et al. in their attempts to duplicate the W-S results. Furthermore, the findings of Verhoeven et al. are complicated and confused by the fact that the baseline Damascus steel, selected by them for comparison with their own experimental studies, is certainly not a typical Damascus steel.
