We may just be seeing history being made, with the first truly affordable Damascus knife.
this will most definitely be my first damascus blade!
never heard of Bear & sons?
Alabama Damascus, provider of Kershaw's pattern-welded steel, sells damascus Bear MGC knives on their website.
Kershaw has more interesting knife designs and better QC, imo, but they both use the same home-grown stuff. I think Case used to use it as well.
