Nice looking knives.What steel on the blades.Are they forged or stock removal knives.Last 2 knives look like they are handled in Maple wood.The second looks like osage orange and somthing else as bolster.What handle material on the first knife.

How old of a knife is the second one... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

watson made 'em look like they came from the early 1800s. classics - and usually not for the modern drop point crowd.

so ok then it's new made to look old..LOL A non patterned Dasmsacus blade(did I say that right?)

Ms. Elf,
It is also sometimes refered to as "random patterned"; or so has been our experience.

WindWalker,



Yup I have myself one of those random patterened ones in my collection. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The damascus, I've hade for 11 years and I think it was only a couple of years old when I acquired it in a trade. It is my favorite one to carry and use. I have skinned as many as five whitetail before having to even touch up the blade on a knife steel. It really holds and edge well.

The handles are osage and antler, with an old finish.
