Other affordable Damascus blades

[jfindon]

I'm just wondering if there are any others besides the DAM Leek. Affordable meaning $200 or less. I completely love how Damascus looks and want to get as many as I can.

Case also makes some knives with Damascus blades. I've got a Stockman in raindrop damascus and it cuts great. Here is a pic of it next to my Charge..

How are the MCusta knives? I usually try to buy US examples and I've heard of this company before but I don't remember hearing if they were any good.

Bear MGC makes a number of modestly priced fixed and folding blade damascus knives with stag handles. They are worth checking out if damascus is your thing.

Just a point to add, I've seen Bear damascus knives on sale at Sierra Trading Post in the past. Otherwise, SMKW probably has the best selection and lowest prices on the Bear damascus products. AG Russell has some also.

Sorry about that!

I think I like that one...

I'm not too fond of the "traditional" knives like the Bear knives, I'm not sure what that style of knife is called.

I wish Benchmade did a damascus blade other than their Gold class ones.
