new damascus knife
#163413 - 05/07/10 08:38 PM

Some of you may remember I got Roger the knifemaker on this forum to make a knife for a friend using part of a block of root I dug up in the garden. I was so pleased with the result I asked him to make me one in damascus using the same block of wood, I got it today and here it is..(sorry only one pic but photobucket got buggered up, best, Mike

Don't show it to the locals in Moz, Mike - they might think it's haunted when they see the Dr Who pattern on the blade.

Damn nice! I have several Damascus Steel knives, and love them all...except one. It's made of stainless steel and was the toughest knife I ever owned when it came to sharpening the darn thing.
