Leather-n-Dagger Damascus Steel Blank Blade for Knife Making Supplies (Without Sheath) LDB10

I have been making handmade knives for 20+ years, I started out when I was working as a Metalsmith in Houston and had an interest in furthering my talents from fabrication of wrought iron furniture - I had learned about the physical properties of different metals while working as a high pressure pipe inspector, in using the 500 lb. trip hammer I started my own damascus steel (very labor intensive) combining 1095HC w/ 5160 & using borax between the folding of the twisted and hammered metal- 200+ folding takes a long time- these blades from "Leather n Dagger are the real deal, very easy to attach scales and I make my own Kydex or leather sheaths, I have a woodwork shop and make a presentation box from the same excoit wood that the handles are made from- I highly recommend these blades to anyone who wants a fine knife, they are tempered correctly and hardened to RH of 58-60 and have pre-drilled holes for attaching the scales, Thanks Amazon for the fast shipping and allowing those of us who live in the backwoods to shop from home

I love the detail and contrast. Can't wait to turn it into a very special gift

one of the best knife blanks I have true Damascus steel with a razor sharp edge. would buy again but I think I'll have this one for a long time I used purple heart wood to make the handle and a custom sheath made of hand tooled leather

Nice blank but extremely dull.

Very nice protect, bought two to make Christmas gifts, the blades were very nice looking. If you damage the finish during the build cold bluing works great on it

Great blade,Put a burl wood handle on it and it,s a hech of a knife! I will be getting more of these for gift giving.

This knife blank was exactly what I wanted and I put black palm wood on the handle

very sharp out of the box
