Devon Thomas B & W Ladder Damascus?

B&W, or Black and White, usually refers the "high-contrast", non-stainless damascus blades that have been produced in the past. IIRC, this option isn't available any longer from CR.

According to Devin Thomas' website (who supplies the lion's share of CR Damascus blades), his combinations are the following:

Stainless Damascus - AEB - L and 304

High Contrast Damascus - O1 or 19C5VA and Nickel

Double High Carbon Damascus - O1 or 19C5VA & 15N20 (2% Nickel high carbon steel)

As far as the chemistry of the components he uses, I'd recommend Z's Steel Chart.

I just read the chris reeve FAQ and it said that the non-stainless damascus is 1095 and nickel

can anybody confirm what the B&W damascus is made out of?

and how does it compare to BG-42?
