Re: Damasteel Ivory G10 Urban

https://youtu.be/EG1IrNTdAC8 Yeah, $280 is ok for that knife. It looks great. Yes it looks great, even the scales look nice in this vid. Still, $280 is really really painful... for a rather small knife, with "just" G10 scales. I am SO struggling. I want a Damasteel Spydie, but I think it'...

Re: Damasteel Ivory G10 Urban

Looks great. In the delivered and up and coming thread people were asking about how light/dark the etch is. To keep that thread on topic I'll post this here. This is my 40th Anniversary. I have it angled in the light just right for maximum effect, this is as dark as the etch ever looks. Interesting...

Listing's gone. Or made invisible. At least for me.

Was it published by mistake? :winking-tongue

Either way. 4V for a Jester sounds not very obvious....

Re: DLT Trading PM2 Purple G-10 satin Cruwear exclusive

Hmmmm... 44 bucks less for this in G10 compared to the CruCarta production version. That's a good argument. The color might scare people off though....

Re: Can Wootz steel be made today? (not pattern welded damascus)

He cooked his Wootz in a crucible for several days. I've got an Al Pendray Wootz Persian dagger, serrated. sal Share a picture, please?! Me likes d...

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!

I have been most impressed with the sharing of knowledge in this sub forum. I'm betting that some will learn a better way and share. When I spoke wit the factory making the blades, she said that they use a diamond belt, That's a good bit of knowledge. I believe we'll teach each other to do it or so...

Looks like we have a Mule Team In-the-works.

sal

Sal, earlier you said that the costs appeared to be high. Then you said you were negotiating. Now it's in-the-works. Will the price be higher than the upcoming MT32 at $75? $100+? $150+? Please give a hint, if you can.
