Nice knife ::tu::
I love damascus. Do you know if they build them in Wisconsin or import them? The one pictured here looks great and the sheath looks well made too ::tu::

Wazu,

The blades are imported and than the knife is hand crafted in Wisconsin.
The quality is really good and the details are well crafted.

Thanks camilus,
The sheath looks bad ass too ::tu::
I Google earthed their location just to check it out. They're in a strip mall between a Chinese restaurant and a realtor. The owners name is Mohammed Naimullah and the director just goes by Aquil. They started in Pakistan during the 90's then moved here after they saved enough money. They seem pretty sincere about the damascus. I think the plain steel knives are still finished in Pakistan. That's how they're able to sell full sized bowies for $16. I'd like to have them make a Damascus knife to my specs. I sent them an email to find out the particulars. I'll let you know what they come back with.

Thanks Wazu,

I'll look forward to finding out what they can do for you.

I received a call from Mohammad Asadulla and he explained their process for the Damascus Knives.
I find the quality to be very competitive to knives here.
