Because numerous patterns and styles are made by a growing number of Damascus steel makers, it is impossible to show the number of patterns available. Many collectors have knives made from Damascus from one shop while others collect a variety of styles and patterns. The knives illustrated here represent a small fraction of Damascus steel available today from sources scattered all over the United States. The rewards of designing and eventually acquiring a custom knife made from this exotic will fascinate owner and admirerers for generations. Damascus is truly the King of Knife Steel. It defines the ultimate in taste, putting knives made from it as well as those who acquire them in a class by themselves.
