    Thank you, the second one is a damasteel stainless powered super steel and is a gift for my hunting buddy and bro in law, sent out on Friday, I’ve got 2 hard core hunters and myself testing 3 of my designs and they are all performing beyond my expectations, my chefs knives sell well as there are far more cooks than hunters in NZ lol, my daggers are play things, as it’s a hard one to make. cheers.

    I was ordering some stuff off Aliexpress and spotted a low cost knife blank https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hand...311.0.0.j7TXhI
    Although it says its Damascus, its actually just embossed plain carbon steel, but at NZ$20 they are cheap enough for a play.
    Had a scrubby stag head in the shed so lopped one of the tines off that had a diameter that matched the bolster on the knife, drilled a hole up the tine and glued it in place.
