I would love to see close-up blade photographs of just your Damascus Steel knives. It is my new goal to own one.
I own a variety of carbon steel and stainless steel knives, but my real interest now is in having a Damascus blade; because I've never owned a piece of Damascus steel. The closest thing I've got is this old French chef's knife from the Chicago Forge which looks like it's been smashed out with a trip hammer.
Anyhow I'm seeing a lot of imported Damascus Steel knives for sale on the web which appear to be made from used chain and steel cable.
I am looking at hundreds of photographs of some very attractive cutlery and wondering if any of these imported Middle Eastern knives are worth owning, or if they're more or less just wall hangers?
I could deal with a wall hanger if it's pretty enough, but on the other hand it would be nice if the knife was worth owning as a knife.
Take a look at these guys...

So . . . Quality knives or attractive dust catchers?
