I love Damascus !
Way To Go !
Excellent user knife too !
Here is my favorite Damascus . Some might call it "boring" by todays artsy over the top detailed stuff but this grain look just speaks to me and is all I would ever want in apearance .
((I think it's Larrin Thomas's Dad who made the blade stock and sold it to Case ! Extra Cool .

My first (and only!) Damascus blade is a Civivi Savant. One of 5 Civivi’s, and they’re all quite fine knives. It’s too pretty to beat up, but looking at it now it’s too pretty to not carry.

That's the spirit .
I pined for that one but I have to draw the line somewhere .
Not that I don't like the Elementum I have bought and enjoyed several over the years.

I have an Elementun Wharncliff, too; not Damascus, but another really nice one that should get carried a lot more than it does.

I'm not being a snob, or putting down civivis dama - but honestly I'm not a fan of those wider, almost more machine like layers...
I prefer these types of dama ; ) Fafnir style ... tighter and more complex
also really like this example.... viper vox katla (not fafnir really, but its tight)

Civivi's regular random pattern damascus is pretty decent, I have the Trailblazer slipjoint. With carbon fiber scales, it's nice, but not flashy. My first Civivi damascus, the Synergy 3, on the other hand, has a very attractive blade, with a fairly tight pattern. It's just a little small, for me. But I like this design so much, I also have the Synergy 4, in Nitro-V. For the last year or so, my EDC has been a WE Synergy 2, integral titanium and M390.
Generally, I prefer to buy American made. And I don't generally buy budget knives. But, if I like a knife enough to buy it, it doesn't matter where it's made. A good knife is a good knife. Civivi's offerings are a great introduction to good quality damascus.

Dont give Civivi any ideas, need them to stay with some cheaper damascus since We special editions are overpriced already(though gorgeous).I'm not being a snob, or putting down civivis dama - but honestly I'm not a fan of those wider, almost more machine like layers...
