Just discovered that a company here in Asheville makes KB's.
Still waiting for a friend of mine to make the intro for me but he said he would hook me up.
This company also makes knives...some sweet ass damascus auto's that they only sell to LEO's...gonna get the hookup there too.
yea for me!!!!!

I don't even know the name of the company.
As soon as I have more info I will pass it along.

Oso, do you know the deal on Damascus steel? E.g. if I had the opportunity to get Damascus vs. a stainless one, what would be the advantage besides the coolest looking metal I've ever seen?

Here's the website of the guy I want to make me some knives. Coincidentally, he lives in the same state as me and has the same (unusual) name as my brother-in-law. Check out some of his blades in the gallery - some awesome Damascus patterns there, but I'd want my knives to be able to be practical as well as artistic hence my question.

I'm not a steel expert....but, damascus type blades are supposed to offer a maximum of edge and flexibility both due to the layering of high and low carbon steels.
this is sweet as he ll
this seems like a decent explanation
*oh, and given my druthers, I'd take damascus over 440C any day.

Me too on an appearance basis. But I wouldn't want a piece of art over a functional tool. Some of that guy's knives are pretty cool. I like the ones that are Damascus made from forging chainsaw blades. That's a cool idea - a sweet blade made from another kickass cutting tool.Originally posted by Oso

well, keep in mind that the appearance of a damscus style blade was happenstance. only now is it really looked at for artistist pleasure. 440C is, IMHO, kinda bottom shelf. They'll snap in a heartbeat if you aren't carefull and who wants to be careful with a fighting tool? Look at some of Cold Steel's Carbon V blades for a better stock steel than 440C.
