Forgive me if this is in the wrong place but I know that a lot of makers hang out here. So my question is does anybody know where I can get a Damascus knife for not a whole lot of money. This doesnt have to be some special Damascus just something showing the pattern and beauty of Damascus. I'm doing a project on Damascus steel and need a visual aid to show at the fair. I'm trying to keep it a round $100. This can be just the blade. I can take care of the fittings. So if anybody is up to the challenge let me know. Or if you of a place to get a Damascus knife at this price please tell me. Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it.
 
if you are looking for a simple example of damascus atlanta cutlery has some very basic blades for quite cheap. I hope this helps and good luck with your project. By the way you can order online
 
Charles,

You get what you pay for. If you buy "cheap damascus" you will have welding flaws and questionable quality. You are better off going with a reputable maker of damascus.
 
Art is right on...
but the guy who posted right above me is very questionable!! :p
..and bob....just what is that guy up to in the pic under your name anyhow??????:confused:
 
Thanks for all your help guys. I know that the term you get what you pay for is never more true than in the knifemaking buisness. But I dont need a blade that can pass the ABS master smith test.(although that would be nice.) I just need something that can show the pattern in a Damascus blade. I was even thinking about getting Damascus barstock just to show it. But I thought a knife would look much beter. Again thanks for all the help. I think I have a couple of leads now.
