Just a question, are you or is one of the owners of your company an American citizen? If not you may want to remove that section of the Pledge of Allegiance from your signature line.

Nice swords by the way.

May I second this suggestion. Either make it clear why you are choosing to include the Pledge of Allegiance to a flag and a country that appears to not be your own or consider removing it. Expressing support is one thing, but this is rather different.
 
OK then, that explains everything perfectly.

Are your knives and swords decorative or are they actually designed to be used?
 
I'm curious about this. I've been to your website and you folks have some extremely intriquing cutlery. What steels are used in your Damascus?
 
So, are they users or wallhangers?
What steels do you use in your Damascus?
 
my apologies for the delayed reply.we use high carbon steel 440 c -these are users only we try to make them factory finished or non-sharpened so they are not held up while shipping but can be sharpened too.
kind regards

Good news that they are 440c and they are users.:D
Now, what steels are used in your Damascus?:confused:
 
440C? In swords? Correct me if I am wrong, but 440C is a stainless steel and, by all reports, stainless does not make very good sword blades as it does not seem to hold up well to the extra stresses that come with the repeated impacts that swords take, remembering that they are long, unsupported steel blades. At least that is my understanding from my reading in a number of books oon the subject and my reading of the experiences of the fplks over at SwordForum and at NetSword.
 
Damascus is a type of steel. It usually consists of a blend of two or more types of high Carbon steel. Your site advertizes Damascus steel.
I'm just intersted in what types of steel are being used to make your Damascus.
If it's just 440c, it cannot be called Damascus as 440c is just one type of high Carbon steel.

I apologize if this is confusing.:(
 
From A.G. Russell's "Kniffemakes Steel Chart" from his Websitewww.russell.com, Here are the components of 440C steel:
Carbon: 0.95%-1.2%, Manganese: 1.0%, Chromium: 14.5%, Nickle and Vanadium: 0%, M<olybdenum: 0.75%, and Tungsten: 0%

From his "Knife Encyclopedia" at the same site;
440C
The most popular high-carbon stainless used by custom knifemakers for many years. First used by Gil Hibben about 1966. 0.95 - 1.20% Carbon, 0.40% Manganese, 17.0% Chromium, 0.50% Vandium, 0.50% Molybdenum.
See The Knifemakers Steel Chart

Hmmm, note the slightly different percentages, but note also that he is very clear about it being a stainless steel.

Please also note what his "Knife Encyclopedia" has to say about Damascus Steel:
Damascus Steel
There is more mis-information about Damascus steel than about any other subject in the knife world. Bill Moran, the man credited with the reintroduction of Damascus said that if a knife was going to be used then the blade needed a center core of tool steel between two outer layers of Damascus. This statement applies to "layered Damascus" not to what may have been the original Damascus, that is Wootz which is believed to have originated in India. Wootz has been brought back by Al Pendray. Layered damascus, that is layers of different steels welded together, was made in Scandinavia, Japan, India, Toledo, Solingen and maybe even in Damascus. Today it is made in all parts of the world for handmade knives, swords and even for production knives. Quality ranges from poor to wonderful.

Spyderco' Steel Chart, from their website, shows 440c as having the following components:
Carbon: 0.95%-1.20%, Chromium: 16.00%-18.00%, Cobalt: 0%, Copper: 0%, Manganese: 1.00%, Molybdenum 0.75, Nickle: 0%, Phosphorus: 0.04%, Silicon: 1.00%, Sulpher: 0.03%, Tungsten: 0%, and Vanadium: 0%
