If you guys are talking down about damascus steel, you don't know what you are talking about. That is some of the highest quality metal to use, especially with knives. I wouldn't talk down about it.
Being able to work metals like that to bring out the beauty of it is an art in itself, and any craftsman who can do it deserves appreciation, not throwing up in your mouth. Go get a life.
Superdown, I don't know the model you are talking about, but I know the metal work you are, it looks awesome.
