I've just begun venturing into making my own Damascus. This was my second billet, 160 layers of random pattern 1080 and 15n20. I rounded out the knife with polished stainless fittings and some dark giraffe bone on a fileworked frame handle. OAL is 9 1/2" or so. I'll have this knife and several others at the Lone Star Knife Expo March 25/24 in Dallas. Here's the show flyer, for those who want the info.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

Really nice work on that one.

very nice, are you hand hammering the Damascus or do you have press/auto hammer? I'm only asking because I played with making my own with hammer and anvil and its a killer... Very nice knife great work.

The billet was forged with an Anyang 25KG and an Uncle Al press, then forged to shape by hand.
