Damascus on Low-End Kershaws

[MoreToasties]

Just wanted to make sure the Damascus Kershaw uses on their Skyline is in fact Damascus, and not a print on the blade.

For the price, I think it's a valid question

Thanks,

It is damascus, but from what I've read, it's not stainless. Unless that's changed recently.

 

[MoreToasties]

Thanks man.


Guys? Stainless?

 

[Phillip Dobson]

Definitely not stainless. I think it's something like 15n20 and 1084. It's manufactured by Brad Vice at Alabama damascus.

 

[MoreToasties]

Alright, I will oil it up. Thanks!

It takes a wicked edge too......

and I'm not going to miss an opportunity to show off my Kershaw that Mr. Dobson ^ made carbon fiber scales for.

Thanks.

It's incredibly light too.

Awesome. I was actually wondering the same thing about that kershaw... may have to pick on up now :thumbup:

 

[Phillip Dobson]

Thanks.

I was surprised how light it was, given how thick the slabs are. I guess that's the beauty of carbon fiber.
