Beautiful blades. Every time I want to pull the trigger on one, i keep wishing they would make an insingo damascus... Still stuck on that blade shape.

Great thread, many useful info!!

All pictures much appreciated, in fact looking at those hardwear polished blades helped me to decide on choosing small PJ damascus for my folder.

I know it won’t be easy to find one..

Thanks all

Good luck with your search!

An Insingo in Damascus would be amazing. Maybe someday.

Damascus Insingo or even a tango for sure!

Damascus Inkosi - maybe someday.

Just want to jump in and say two thumbs up! Awesome, super useful thread. I'm still on the 2cnd page and it is a pleasure taking one's time and going through it all like a journey. Really pumps me up and give me more gusto to put to use my UG Boomerang Damascus Large 31.

Looking forward to the next update.

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed this thread. Might put this knife back in pocket this week. I’ve been carrying a PM2 for the last month. While it’s a good knife, it’s no Sebenza.

Ended up re-anodizing the spacer and pin on my main user. Originally I polished it off because I liked the way the silver hardware looked on my CGG damascus one but on the PJ models, nothing beats that worn blue and grey look. I am having

WValtakis rematch the thumbstud.

Fully agree. Hard to beat a Pj Damascus with blue hardware

I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the thread. Still my favourite CRK to EDC.

Had two of my favourite “beaters” on hand this week

. Took a little shot of them hanging out together.

Love it. Beautiful knife. Ladder Damascus is super cool, and I can almost convince myself it’s more functional as well, with the waves of different steel adding to the effectiveness of the edge. I’m sure that will justify a purchase for me someday!

I don't know if it's my imagination but it does seem to cut things like rags and towels better than my S35 drop points.

Love this thread. It is making me want to get my first CRK knife.

This thread was with no doubt why I went ahead and bought a CRK with demascus. I’ve seen other blades…. And they don’t show wear very well. In fact their demascus wore like it was painted on.

Don't know if I will go damascus but they sure are beautiful. Love seeing a nice tool like this being used which I guess is what is inspiring me to look at getting my own CRK. Have several spyderco and benchmade folders but nothing this high end.
