Hello
Blade:
Ok I guess I will have to figure out how to use the quote feature also:)
Here are a few pics of my knives. Two are Damascus and one is titanium stainless and G10.
Brass_Machine:
Those are some nice knives. I especially like the middle Damascus one. So when you say you buy the raw materials, you actually forge the Damascus? I would love to see some shots of that!

I purchased the Damascus as bar stock for these knives, I have forged some damascus but I don't have the space for the extra equipment I need so I just buy bar stock.

That's pretty cool too. Didn't know you could buy it as raw stock. After you shape and sharpen a blade, do you need to heat treat it all?

Blade:
Damascus is available from several different sources. You can get stainless or carbon steel and sometimes blends of both. The majority of it is made by by people who started as knifemakers and branched off to produce damascus for other makers.
The bars come in different sizes and are anealed when you get them so that they can be cut and drilled. Carbon steel blends are easy to heat treat and can be hardened and tempered with very simple equipment.
