    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)

    the past few days i also have been trying to find that same site/seller and cant seem to find it anywhere,
    i was talking to a friend about it on thursday night and i couldnt find it no matter how hard i tried Ive even been searching for it today with no luck,
    he`d hoped to get some blank blades and cut up a stag horn to earn some extra cash with trying his hand at carving and was really looking forward to getting the blades

    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.
