Finished my Vintage Damascus GPF Buckles

Those are really, really nice. Being a knife collector with a particular fondness for Damascus, I can appreciate the time and skills it takes to take raw steel and make Damascus stock.

Do you make blades as well or is your focus primarily on buckles, etc?

Thanks, never done blades and will likely stick to the buckles. This stuff is indeed a bugger to work with.

do you have em in screw on buckle?

Machine shop couldn't do the screw bars. It is a very hard metal and to top it off this metal is layered so there is potential for splitting. I have created a "hidden rivet" strap that allows for the changing of sewn in buckles on straps. The rivets are hidden under the keeper. Here's some examples.
