Hi All

New here. I run a small business selling Damascus Steel (mostly) kits for woodturners. Letter openers, pizza cutters, walking stick parts, cigar holders, bottle openers, key rings, that type of thing. My first kit was actually a dagger style letter opener as I couldn't understand people spending time and effort to put a nice wood handle on a pot metal plated blade. This is one of my first kits that a customer handled in Koa wood

Anyway I didn't come here to sell so much as to learn. I am always looking for new ideas, new things to make, new things to offer. A lot of my best ideas come from customers.
