    Custom EDM pins

    I haven't tried that Mark, but with pins that have an asymmetrical design with a "right" and a "left" I have cut the pin in half, sanded the cut ends smooth at 90 degrees, and inserted them from opposite sides. I did a knife using the image of Texas pin this way. One side of the pin appears...

    Safety PSA

    Cheap Damascus

    You basically have to take their word for the product so you should deal with established suppliers who have good reputations. I'd be careful about buying a blade off of ebay, especially if it comes from Pakistan or is super cheap. Watch out for anything that seems too cheap. Good damascus is...
