My Knife Arrived Today
 

My knife arrived today. It is a Damascus style knife that is 8.2" long and the blade is 4" long. It weighs 8.2 oz. The file work is excellent. The blade material is 1095 & 15N20, and the handle is Horn, Wood, and Bone. This is an A+ quality knife with excellent workmanship. I can't wait to take it hunting. Here's some pics.

Sorry about the quality of my camera and the date being wrong.

Nice blade Jim!

How does the damascus sharpen? Id assume fairly easy since its an inferior steel, but the question is, will it hold an edge? or is it just for show?..

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

I will find out how well the edge holds up. Obviously it won't hold as good of an edge as the better steel that the market has to offer but, this knife is made with high and low carbon steel. So with it being a carbon knife even though it has two different strength steels in it. The edge should hold up. I WILL see this next hunting season how well it holds up. Either way, it is a nice knife.

that a very nice looking knife Jim, piece of art in the hand ! Where did ya get it from?

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

Sweeter than "Ice Cream" HB! I love the look of Damascus.

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

I got it off of eBay. With shipping and my bid I got it for about $35.00. There are some nice Damascus knifes on eBay. Some nice ones go for cheap. Thanks for asking woolley.

A good damascus blade will get sharper and stay sharp longer than anything else.

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

That is a classy looking knife. You got it at a great price too. Congrats.

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

Yep, I bought 3 just like it today
at the gun show for $4 out the door.
Good Pakistani craftmanship....
$1.33 each wasn't so bad......but the
DAMassCUS finish[magic marker] wore off
on one of them before I got to the truck !!
Still a good deal......I have been selling them
for $35 on e-bay...and making a killing !
[although the price of Sharpie's have gone up]

[Jim knows I'm just picking on him]

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

Got a good sheath and belt loop for it?

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

The sheath left a lot to be desired but I will have one made for it.

It's like a work of art . Almost a shame to get it bloody. Looks like it will serve well.

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

That's a fine looking blade Jim!
And at a fair price in my opinion....nice find!

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

Inferior? I dressed 10 deer with my custom damascus, then went into the cabin and shaved with it. Didn't really shave, we don't do that at deer camp but could have. Don't know about the cheap Paki knives, I won't buy one. My good old USA custom's hold a edge better than anything I have ever seen.

I have over 100 knives now, both commercial built and customs. Steel and Damascus,

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

Ive got my eye on those knives all the time, type in custom knife on ebay and you will see some of the most beautiful knives man.

Re: My Knife Arrived Today
 

Thats one cool blade.
