bikermutt07 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Posted December 24, 2017 It all looks great. I would love to see a picture of that dovetail you mentioned. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

I think my first intro to Damascus was the sword from the ' Highlander' films. I doubt it was Damascus but they did describe it that way. beautiful work.

It may have been damascus, there are some tremendously talented sword makers out and there and could have been made of damascus. Just to be clear I dont want to take anything away from the makers of damscus or damscus knives out there. It takes a lot of work and skill to produce damascus. But strictly from a metallurgy stand point I feel there are better function options out there. I really like the look of feather damascus in knives and some day I suspect I may make a knife out of that pattern.... Ross Quote
