For years, I wouldn't touch Damascus, it being a maintenance issue. But when a few highly accomplished makers began to produce really cool patterns that elevated such pieces to high visual art, I knew I would need to check them out more closely.

This is one I picked up from maker Ron Newton, MS at the 2012 Solvang show, a forged integral piece, keyhole construction, feather pattern with stabilized desert ironwood handle.
I later sold it to a buddy and kicked myself ever since.

He just this month decided he was going to sell some knives and knew I wanted it, so sold it back. I couldn't be happier, it just arrived today so it's a very Merry Christmas!

Edit 12/26: I've added a second image to this post, one that already existed that shows more of the details on edge:

Ron Newton's Damascus is so exceptional that he attends shows in China and is a favorite of the Chinese collectors, who pretty much only want his Damascus steel. He's also known
for making classic gun knives with design from former centuries. I agree, it's exceptional forging, and so acknowledged by his peers. Glad I got it back. Not a user, LOL.
