Looks Awsome!!! Oakwood What type of band saw blade do you use? I have a few used wood band saw blades that I make great bread slicer type knives. I dont think it is the same stuff your using.
Again great pattern, I hope to try something like that soon!

ChefTj, The industrial metal cutting band saw blades I'm using are UDDEHOLM UBH ANKAR Steel. Which is a high alloy, Red hard, wear resistant, PITA to cut steel that I beleive is something close to L6.

That is really very nice. It will cut well forever in the right hands, and age qracefully. That's the best that can happen to a knife.

Thanks Guys, this is the first damascus blade I've ever completed ! I couldn't even begin to tell you how many billets & blades ended up in the "learning pile".

Really like the three toned damascus. Nice knife, worth the learning curve.
