Goose, so how did you manage to even get a damascus blade 110 ordered in the last four and one-half weeks, let alone actually receive it? The website has not allowed one to place an order for a damascus blade for quite some time now, nor does it allow one to do so at the present time. When I inquired, I was informed that they were temporarily out of that blade and that I would be notifed when they were resupplied.

Thanks all for your kind words Buck Brothers.

Ya, know, I do have to see if I actually have a 110 in my EDC rotation…one for each month. Don't think so quite yet.

BuckMan#10…below are some comparison pics. The raindrop pattern from last year and this year (top two in the pic of four) are Stainless Steel. Not certain what the composition is of the serrated Damascus that has jigged Asian Buff scales.

Thanks Messy, gd526 (not a "god" LOL, I just eat cheap to defer funds), and Jim.

hi mike
i would be surprised if the damascus is offered again as an option on the website , i think it will always be in limited supply , kind of hit and miss
fyi last week they had some available and probably still do just contact joe or pete

goose
thanks for the pics , the raindrop pattern is nice but i think i prefer the older wave pattern like on yours with the serrations

ok heere is some info i think i know/ your belife may verry as i am not a book
and if you ask some they will tell you i dont know what i am talking about so with that noted :

the layering of two dark steels is for streanth as both are low nickel high carbon steels , the high contrast layering is from were one is a high nickel steel and these are not as good at long lasting use as nickel is soft but makes good looking layers it is all folded hammer welded steel

the sq paten in the above blade is layered stainless...
it is not hammer forged damascus !!! that steel pateren is made from pressing a sheet of layered stainless in a supper waffel press !!! this leaves dimples on both sides of some depth... then the sheet is ground off on both sides tell the dimples are gone... ground to blade shape and etched for its pateren to show... the femish use a layered steel with a high rockwell center layer sanwiched between softer layers for streanth...
so in my humble onion it is layered steel dimpled so when ground flat to resemble hammer forged pattered steel... and not hand made damascus as thought...

any damascuss for buck with a date mark before is before custom shop closed in 93 would be from parker frost

desiners choice is from the Pete's custom shop era with the exception of some VERRY TIP TOP SHELF damascuss from
Darryel at MEIERSTEEL.COM ...he has a tad of D2 or O1 layered in his so it is very dark layers!!!
but buck dont know were it went to or what it was used on!!!!

and sence then i dont know yet... except for the stainless damascuss and how it it's patern is made
learned a lot in atlanta i did !!!
unlike here, i did not talk a lot...
i lissened to others at club events belive it or not!!!
