Thank you. No, the ones I finished this weekend are not a Damascus, the case colored one is D2 tool steel that I left with the tempering colors on the steel. I do use & will be making some Damascus blades soon as I have a couple of orders for them & I also am making a display knife for a studio in NZ, and I am thinking of using a Damascus knife for that also. This is a Damscus pair I made a couple of years ago. One of them is in Ohio & the other one is in New Zealand. And I DON"T THINK EITHER ONE ARE USING THEM !! THEY ARE "NOT" TO LOOK AT GUYS !! USE THEM UP and wear them out & I will Give you a both new ones ! I DARE ya ! (yes, I am screaming as it is a long ways to Ohio & NZ & I want them to hear me! ha ha ha !  www.custommuzzleloaders.com |

Birddog6, I'm afraid those Damascus blades would be display only knives for me as well. I'd hate to mess up something so beautiful. BTW, mamflinter, cool sig line you have there!!  Jack  |

Jack Jack thank you for the compliment on the signature image. But I cannot take the compliment, as I didn't make it. Underclocked made it for me about 2 years ago. Birddog those are truly beautiful knives. You have a true gift. |

Well, If I had someone up here to help skin out these darn groundhogs! But, I will say they are dang pretty and they fit very well in my hand, plus you should see them open a letter! Slick as a gut! The one on the bottom does look a little familiar. Did I ever tell anyone how much I love Damascus? ;D |

Birddog,
I know you say them knives are for using but I would have a hard time sticking one of those knives in a can of pork and beans to open it up. Can't imagine hacking away at a pelvic bone either. Ha-ha Sure are good looking knives!

 I can hear you and for the record that magnificent knife has skinned numerous wallabies and at least 2 goats. It has also harvested more than a few wallaby and goat scrotums now featuring as ball bags (holding lead balls not the original running gear.

Jeff: What can I say ?...... "You have more balls that anyone I know" ? ha ha ! ;D or "You're just having a ball with that knife" ? ha !
I am glad you like it & are using it.
