This photo is a 30-year old time capsule and an unexpected opportunity. While cleaning out some old canopies, the top blade appeared in a bag.

This is one of my first knives under DLB Flintlock, numbered 439. It was made out of a 1950's bayonet. Made approximately 30 years ago

The second is a more recent Damascus blade. Nearly the same size.

I think I've come a long way and learned a lot over the years. Thank you all for being part of this journey.
