At the risk of starting a row, and while I feel like the question might be a bit like asking a group to pick the best bbq or steak joint, (not to mention the sheer impertinence from one so young in their bladesmithing journey) I was wondering if there was a leader (or ahem... *best) damascus maker? Not necessarily one who makes the best blade with it, but one whom the best blademakers go to for damascus help. Is there a stand alone guru in the metal working world who can make any pattern or style, flawlessly, and overflows with advice and wisdom? 

Thanks for your help!
