Like coal..into a diamond

[Scott Hartman]

I sent Joe a box of junk...and he sent back some fantastic Buck knives. Hats off to Joe Houser & Buck Knives. They all came back perfect! This is the Crown Jewel , it's awesome what Joe can do to a lump of coal A very nice Rain Drop pattern. I did the filework before it was sent for the blade up-grade.

So, will this damascus be available to the general public through the custom shop? It really looks nice. :thumbup:

Sorry Mike, I think there were only a few left weeks ago. I had been waiting on the 154CPM and it still wasn't available, so I opted for the damascus. Here's a post from panmann in another thread:

BBB, Buck did have about 50 Damascus blanks about 5 or so weeks ago. They didn't post it on their site as an option because they had so few blanks available. I ordered a custom Buck, (Damascus-serrated/NS bolsters/FG/Sambar Stag). ETA was given right before Xmas. They were charging I think around $70 or $75 for the Damascus upgrade. I think out the door I spent around $170. Just FYI...

On Sept 22 I got word from Buck that mine "was in the works". And, that they only had 50 blanks of the rain Damascus in stainless. Yep, stainless is what I was told.

Anyway, it must still be in the works as they have not cashed my check yet.



BTW Scott...beautiful

I'd be satisfied if they would just break down and add S30V as an option in the custom shop. I've got a few knives I would send in for blade upgrades when that happens.
