EBay shop out of England "handmade custom Damascus" the knives are advertised as very high quality handmade customs, but I don't see them bringing any serious money! Anyway I've never heard of them before stumbling onto them today. No information comes up, so just curious. Anyone ever heard of these knives?
 
Link to the auctions? A common thing for many years that has grown massively the last few years is the use of Asian/Indian damascus kit blanks with custom handles or perhaps a little regrinding.

It depends on your definition of hand made.

Need to see the knives.

Sorry, I don't think I'm allowed to link auctions here. You can find the shop on EBay, that's the name.
 
these blades have, in the past, come to my attention.
I have not handled a rockblade knife. based solely on skimming their offerings on ebay i would say that these knives are selling for far more than they should.
they appear to me to be very poorly built and made.
also i recognize several of their knives to be design ripoffs from other makers.
furthermore if i did not find all of the writing and information in their sales so hilarious i would be offended at what they are trying to pass off on customers.

let the gun slinging begin if it must. as i have stated this is only my opinion based on their ebay offerings, nothing more, take it as you will.
 
Their description of how exotic Damascus is seems a bit much.

I have no opinion on the knives.
 
Yeah, those are Indian factory knives that are built to the order's specs. Sometimes you'll see similar patterns offered as blade blanks or kits. The Damascus is pretty plain and varies from poor to decent in construction.
