Lets See your Damascus Kershaw Patterns!

[SPXTrader]

Dear all. Have couple of Damascus Kershaws in wish list. - Leek and Shallot. The problem for me I do not know anything about damascus from Kershaw.
Can you please compare it with other widely used steels like CPM D2, S30V, M390 etc. I do not feel well if the knife is not working so would prefer if knife n ot only looked awesome

From what I can tell, its (3) layers of 52100, (4) layers of 5160, (3) layers of 203E, and (3) layers of 15N20, folded 5 times for a total of 416 layers.

The steel is made from the following:

We use (3) layers of 52100, (4) layers of 5160, (3) layers of 203E, and (3) layers of 15N20.

The steel is forged out and folded 5 times to give you 416 layers.

Thanks Lacy Alabama Damascus Steel

This is my first Damascus steel knife.

My Leek from the original damascus run, 2008 ish I think.

 

[bigconig]

Here;s my pre 2013 Chive, Zing, Leeks and Skyline.

And my Scallion from this run

Tomorrow I have a Black Leek and Skyline coming from Dave and another silver leek coming from House of Blades. (not to mention a Southard from National)

Seeing all this beautiful Damascus is making me excited for tomorrow. I'll be getting my first Damascus blade. CAN'T WAIT!!!

 

[daveb068]

I really want that Dam Zing.

 

[matttalkslots]

Damascus scallion and skyline!

 

[Jestersinthemoon]

Love both of these.

The Shallot is incredible, though.












ETA: Hey BIGCONIG, I love that second Leek you've got there. Thats gorgeous.

 

[sticktodrum]

These look incredible. I can't wait for tomorrow and Tuesday...Mmmmm.

The shallots are some of the nicest patterns so far.

From top to bottom, what is the second Leek??

 

[Moxy]

2 and 3 are both Ti ZDP Leeks.
The top one is a earlier model with a different style of torsion bar, also the Kershaw logo isn't blue. It's like a pale gold. The tip broke off that one and I had to reprofile it.

 

[NeverMore1701]

A Ti/ZDP Leek is one I must have!

 

[BrentD86]

Mine should get here today but I think it is coming in a box too big for my mailbox. Since I have to work until after 7 tonight I won't be able to pick it up at the post office until tomorrow :/

 

[Jestersinthemoon]

Me too, NvrMore. With the exception of the 0777 and my Pre-ordered 0888Max, the Ti/ZDP Leek and Speedform are my next two KAI purchases.

I've got an extra ZDP Shallot. Anyone down to trade a ZDP Shallot plus cash for a ZDP Leek?


ETA: My Volt 3600 should be here today or tomorrow!!! Yessssss!

A Ti/ZDP Leek is one I must have!
