come on guys these are great blanks , rob took the risk of getting a proper heat treatment on the damascus knives (dangerouse with the pakistani damascus ) and all the problems assosiated with that where sorted . any warps have been ground out and the one that did crack has been shortened so that what is left is strong and stable . we even reshaped the tangs to fit our larger hands (inians must have miniature hands) and the one i made with the "prawn" handle is a great knife only 3 ever made one i gave to my fatehr in law (a full time wholes sale butcher) who said it was the most comfortable knife he had held even tho it looks like it wont be and has actualy taken it to work and is now used there for dejointing sides of pork !! thats not a bad statment is it ?

as i say i made 3 of those ,one i finnished and 2 that rob had off me and this is the only one that is left !
