Wow! Those are all beutifull!  Do you make your own damascus?  Also how do you heat treat that stuff?  If damascus is two different metals wouldnt they technically have different quench and temper temps?

Nice knives!  Once my kids are self propelled I plan on taking this hobby more seriously......build more knives.

I purchase my blades. Not sure on the heat treat of damascus. You could probably post a thread about the process and get some answers. Thanks for all the compliments!
