    I'm not the best photographer so sorry about the bad lighting, but this s the 10th knife I've made and I'm pretty happy with it. I just shipped it out to it's new owner. The shape has a pretty obvious influence...

    Amazing looking knife. Definitely has a Kramer-esque style.

    Did you forge the Damascus yourself?

    No, I don't have the means to forge this right now. I plan to learn to pattern weld in the future. I purchased this from Alabama Damascus.

    What is the damascus composed of (steel wise)? Also what HRC did you end up with after heat treat? =)

    Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

    The Damascus is 5160, 52100 and 15n20. It should be about 60 HRC after oil quench and tempering. I don't have a way to test it though.

    It's quite the stunner. Dare I say the profile and handle are better than the production knives who are spec'd by Bob.
