Here is a knife I made myself. Its is a damacus blade with african blackwood handle and mosaic pins. The pics dont show the true beauty of the knife.

Nice blade! Did you make the blade too? Impressive!

I didnt make the blade. Im not that talented. :gar-La;

I got the blade blank from a knife supply store online. Texas knife I think. Now I need a sheath for it. Anyone do any leather work around here?

Very nicely done. I like the handle material for the blade.
I don't do leather any more but you may try a shoe repair shop. They may be able to make you.

Beautiful knife. Blade looks etched instead of Damacus.

"Damascus" steel as it's known today is just two types of steel forge welded and folded/twisted/etc to make either a random or engineered pattern. The blade is etched, with the two types of steel reacting differently to the etching solution producing contrasting shades.

My favorite damascus maker is Devin Thomas; check out some of the damascus patterns he has created a bit further down this page:

Ben, I have seen some of his blades and they are amazing!! A bit out of my price range though.
Now what did I do with that lotto ticket? :gar-La;
