    It was free for a reason mate
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Mate of mine started making knives about a year ago, I've got some of his early ones and he has recently started listing them on Trademe: Trade Me - Listings from hennyjvv

    This is my favorite, its even been to Africa once:

    Rate them as well. Presume yours is the 154CM blade? but it is not produced in the fixed knife. Pity because the folder gets wickedly sharp on our sharpener.

    I used to import a lot of knives from India and 99% of the them are average at best, they may look nice but trying to get them to hold or take an edge is fruitless.looks to me like a few of them are exactly that, if you want a good Damascus blade you need to spend a few hundred min and often over a grand, it's a pointless steel nowadays, Damascus steel was in the old days the best steel for cutting flesh because of the microscopic bubbles in the steel that acted as a natural micro serration, this created unsurpassed flesh cutting in those days, today there are steels that are far better and cheaper, it's "pattern welded" steel and for my money it's just nice to look at, as a tool for hard work, not really.
    the true Damascus art form is lost, they used to make the ingots in the ground and used plant matter of some sort which is believed to have helped the micro bubbles ( so to speak ) you can find true Damascus steel in different places like huge pillars in India that were made from it...... But impossible to Aquire and pretty soft as well, there is a shit load of info on This steel if you look for it, and as a person who used to forge it was an obsession for a while
    Nice collection Thanks for sharing.

    At least I get blood on mine

    Thats a good-un, and N690 is nice. I've got an ENZO in 690 and given it a good work out and it has performed very well.

    By the way, shit sheath
