one thing first
tim is one hell of a maker and i cant say 100% but he most likely does not smelt his own L6 and O1 that he makes his Damascus steel with so the mono steel blades he does comes in bars much like i get or any other maker would buy.

i am planning on forging out some bars of Damascus for knife and razor use but till i do my mono steel will come shipped in bar or rod stock

i like to say that short of growing the trees and smelting the steel i make the whole blade including the heat treat and cryo
now i have a order for coming together for whale bone and scrim that the scriming will be done out of house. only thing worse then my spelling and typing is my hand writing.
