    Damascus Sgian Dubh

    Does anyone know where I could get good quality damascus blade blank from for a home project? I thought that I had seen a link in a (somewhat) recent post, but am unable to find it now.

    I have an antler shed that I found last fall, and was thinking that a bit of it would make an excellent handle for a sgian dubh. The damascus blades always look interesting to me but I can't find a source. I thought that someone said that Rab Gordon had one, but could not find any on his website, unless I did not look in the corect link. Thanks for the help.

    Here is a link to Rab Gordon's site (the components page)
    you should be able to find something there.

    Thanks McMurdo, that was the link I was looking for. I trust that his blades are good given all the good comments I have read on here about his final products. Now, I'll have to get one ordered and start that project, as soon as my current projects are finished.
