PDTXCLS Leather-n-Dagger Damascus Steel Blank Blade for Knife Making Supplies (Without Sheath) LDB43

Beautiful pattern, deep etch, quality steel. The blade is perfectly straight and evenly beveled, with no delamination, warping, or edge wander. Seller even included a set of pins for attaching scales/handles to the tang. Dont think you'll find a better bang for your buck.

At this price, I was skeptical if this blank was truly Damascus steel or acid etched to resemble Damascus. I am not an expert by any means, but it was easy to follow a fold line from one side of the blade, across the spine, and down the opposite side of the blade. I am very pleased with this blade and feel that it will make a great quality, functional knife when the handle is fabricated.

Beautiful blade, the etch was a little on the light side but thats a preference thing, I re-etched and all is good. The placement of the bolster holes was not ideal but thats a simple fix as well. Over all very pleased and look forward to future business

This knife blade is rather nice to look at but a quick test with my files shows that the edge of the blade is not evenly hardened. i have spots where the file eats into the metal and others where it skips off like it should. Lovely for a decorative piece but not what i am looking for in a working or hunting knife. On the plus side the Forge welding is very nicely done (tight no gaps, pits or cracks) and the pattern (which comes VERY deeply etched) is nice to look at.

What a great quality beautiful knife very pleased with this knife as well as the packaging it came in. Can't wait to put slabs on it and get it in the woods.

This blade is beautiful.
