blueradish Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hey guys, just thought I'd share the results of my latest project. I wanted to make a bunch of vintage Damascus buckles to go along with the plethora of vintage straps. Here is the result, each one unique to itself.

panerai153 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. With Damascus... Edited June 25, 2012 by blueradish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
