my mistake, there is some leather but its only enough to make a standard bowie style sheath so I have reduced the price from £50 to £40 msy help some make their first knife. hopefully.

Hi Bear. Can you tell us anything about the steel? Where is it from?

To all members firstly I am more interested in trading this blade than I am in selling it and I am very flexible towards my swaps list which is here.

Hiya I got asked the same question last night. ive no idea about the steel I got the blade from an ex member on here about a year ago. and just put it in a drawer. ive been having a major clearout of bushy gear and searching through my toy boxes yesterday I came across it again. so just measured it and photographed it and put it straight up on here. ive no idea what steels are involved in making Damascus steel I don't know any more about it except that the photos don't do it justice. to appreciate it fully it has to be in your hand. the crossguard is a beautiful piece in itself had it been double edged it would be going anywhere as that's the blade style I am now collecting. sorry I cant be of more help

Hi Bear. Can you tell us anything about the steel? Where is it from?

Hello, I have a Hudson Bay Tinder Tin with Mag glass in the middle. Tin has only been used once, has no dents and comes full of White Birch tinder cigars. Would you be interested in trading for the Damascus Blade.

Mike
