These are the ones I reach for the most.........

Oh yeah, as an aside..........

Got back from my deer lease a few days ago. Picked up a package from Ricky Bob Menefee when I went to the P.O. Box.

Needless to say, I'm jazzed. My first Damascus blade.

Rick said it was forged from 3 different high carbon steels. 1084, 1095 and 15n20.

A few more snaps...........

He said that this was his first forged Damascus blade, so that would make it a first for the both of us.

I'd say, not bad for a beginner.

But what do I know.

I just use them.

One Hell you need a wheelbarrow full. They don't eat

Rick, stay out of those bottles and the hamon lines won't be so wavy. Must be why the early results are lookin' good.

Becoming a forgin' fool. That butterscotch fixed looks yummy.

Nice work! Keep hammerin' away.
