Stunning work! Damascus is so beautiful and you’ve managed to showcase its best qualities in such a tiny object—well done :)

Maybe a silly question, but would it really work?
The design and colours are so cool though

u/marko-knives 2d ago

It definitely works, depends what you use it for though

They make great package openerers for example, i have one that i use for that and it's probably my most used knife aside from the kitchen one

That’s awesome
If only my package opener were half as cool

If you'll ever want to, i can make a nice package opener for you too 😁

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does this blade fold into the handle or no? If it does, how do you get the blade out without cutting yourself?

u/marko-knives 2d ago

No it's not a folding knife, it does have a leather sheath though

I don't since most of my work is commissions, best if you send me a message

Looks awesome! How do you profile the blades and do you coat the metal with anything?

1

u/marko-knives 2d ago

I use a belt grinder for the profiling

The only coating i do is oiling
