Sounds out like you are missing out on a side hustle.So, I live in an affluent town (lots of rich people). Maybe a year ago, my wife told me she was in a family-owned jewelry store and noticed some Damascus knives (at like $2 -300 if I recall), so she wanted me to check them out. I immediately could tell they were Paki. The scales were a mishmash of brass and cheap mother of pearl, and the Dam was what you would expect. The manager was watching me closely as I inspected them. I said something like "interesting" and she said they bought them from some guy they buy antique jewelry from.
I haven't been back to check on the knives.
Or vice versa.I don’t buy knives from Pakistan or sushi from the gas station.
