			sgian dubh blades
		
			
				
					Hi there about a month ago I did some research into damascus steel sgian dubh blades. I found a uk whole seller that sold damascus steel blades for £10 and 5 stainless steel blades for something like £12.50. ive now spent two days trying to refind this seller with no luck, any help would be much appreciated, I'm begining to think I imagined it!!. many thanks jamie

					Atlanta Cutlery sells knife blanks.  Something like $30-40 American for Damascus, $15-30 for carbon and stainless steel.

	Rab has made some A W E S O M E  stuff! I don't know what he sells his blanks for; but, commissions start at £350 and go up, up, up from there ;-) Seems a nice gent from his email, today, anyway. Incidentally, I was inquiring about having a SOG Pentagon re-hilted as a Sgian Dubh. If anyone has a Cold Steel Culloden for sale---that's not in bad shape---let me know (Lynn Thompson was CRAZY to allow it to be discontinued from my perspective)

					Be careful with so called Damascus steel. It isn't easy to make or work with and it is easy to offer up faux Damascus. It is costly and anything too cheap probably isn't the real steel.
