Damascus Blades

[Skipper]

A fellow Knife Collector told me that he has 2 Spydero Knives with Damascus blades. Apparently these 2 knives came in a presentation case. I think it was really a clear plastic dome type of a display. Has anyone heard of Spyderco Damascas? I didn't realize that Spyderco ever made Damascus.

Hi Skipper. Welcome to the Spyderco forum.

We did a Damascus run of Workers back in the early '80's. We used Tim Zowada Damascus.

Yes I have seen them in the dome back about 4 yrs ago.Two of them numbered 179.95 ea I should be shot for not getting them.
Where are you from and where did your friend get them they might be the same ones.

Just out of curiousity, those blades were _folded_ damascus, right?

[wiley sharp]

Hi Knife knut. Yup.. Folded Damascus by Tim Zowada.

Hi Wiley. Welcome to the Spyderco forum.

Hello wiley sharp; from what I have read on these forums, Spyderco doesnt do one-off customizations, but there are a few aftermarket customizers; don't know of any specifically, however. Also, I am pretty sure the damascus was limited just to that special edition Worker.

Knife Knut on a shoestring budget.

Sal, you mention a few months ago that the 20th anniversary Spyderco knife might be using Damasteel. I guess we are getting a bit late for 20th anniversary.

Any update? Maybe I missed something.
