Unsolicited Testimonial received on 4-25-2009
Dear doecon,
"Hello Don, Months ago (last year)I bought a
folding damascus knife with stag handle from
you. Just letting you know it is the best
hunting knife I have ever owned and it keeps its
edge beautifully. I would not part with it for
all the gold in fort knox. Just thought I would
give you feedback on what a good knife it is.
Thanks, James"

CARE OF YOUR
KNIFE
Please
remember that Damascus steel has carbon steel content and
the surface can rust if not properly protected. If you are
using the knife please dry the blade with a clean cloth and
apply oil or wax to the blade, even a thin layer of cooking
oil will work to shield the steel from exposure to moisture
in the air.
From
Wikipedia (a quick definition)
Damascus steel,
also known as Damascened steel and sometimes
water steel,
now commonly refers to two types of steel used in custom knife and sword
making, pattern-weld and wootz (true Damascus). Both types of Damascened
steel show complex patterns on the surface, which are the result of
internal structural elements in the steel. These patterns are the result
of the unique forging methods used for the creation of Damascened steel,
and skilled sword smiths can manipulate the patterns to create complex
designs in the surface of the steel.
