Superb quality Damascus Scandi blades from Glen Leavitt of the USA.
These USA 'Scandi' grind quality blades are 3.2mm thick and have a very beautiful pronounced well figured Damascus patterning that can actually be felt. The photo just doesn't do them justice!
The 'Stick-Tang' on most commercial knives is nothing more than a flimsy thin rod welded on to the blade part, often liable to bending and even breaking during use, which could be damn dangerous!. The stick tang on these blades is as thick and solid as the blade and therefore as substantial and will neither bend, work loose or break in use!
These Damascus blades are designed to be worked with. Yes, they look pretty, but they take and keep a very good edge and can hold their own, or are even better, than many so called 'Bushcraft' knives.
£150 for a basic complete knife with Sheath ( Three blades left ).

PAKISTAN DAMASCUS BLADES
The above five Damascus blades are the best ones I have that originate from Pakistan. The Damascus figuring is random and flat almost holographic. The primary grind is a hollow one with a secondary micro bevel, so they're more suited to general cutting applications.
Their dimensions can be seen from the picture below and as can be ascertained, they are substantial and will make into very nice knives.
Depending on which blade and handle material configuration is chosen, prices range from between £100 to £125 for a fully made up knife complete with leather Sheath.
Apart from the five blades referred to in the first photo, in my honest opinion, the remaining blades shown above are either for light irregular field use or for decorative/presentation purposes. They all look nice as far as figuring goes and the blades are substantial, but I cannot vouch for the Damascus steel composition and edge holding capabilities when compared to regular working field knives.
All I can say is that when made up you can be sure of a very impressive aesthetically pleasing knife that would not be out of place in a personal collection or as a special present to someone.
Depending on which blade is chosen, prices range from between £75 to £100 for a fully made up knife complete with leather Sheath.

LEUKU / PUUKKO SET
The above Leuku/Puukko sets are made up from Scandinavian Udeholm (Carbon) steel), of which I had three sets as can be seen below. Only one set remains now and once it's gone, it's gone.
£165 for a fully made up set in a Piggy-Back Sheath, or £170 if in two separate Sheaths.
