I would like to get into knife making but am not to the point where I could forge a blade (general lack of a forge). My main question was what you think the quality of some of the Damascus blanks you see online? Thanks

I'm not a black smith nor do I have a forge.I'm into a lot of things just not being a blacksmith.I got my blank from Track of the Wolf.It's a good blade.Holds an edge quite a while properly used.It's the only one I've tried so can't comment on any more.

You should get quite a choice from them.

Good design and size.  A guy can do field work with that thing. Anything from slicing an apple to field dressing any game animal in North America!

I looked at the TOW site but no luck on that Damascus blank. Shucks! I really love that knife and sheath.
