So far great, not so with the mini. Guess I have to learn more about the BDC heads.

love the damascus steel look but I've never seen it in real life, does it have a texture or just the look?Super duper EPIC at work Vape Mail! The Damascus mod by a Phillip Bush #42 just rolled in from England!

Don't know about that mod, but I've got two large Damascus Steel hunting knifes. It definitely has a texture and as far as blades go the folds in the metal are like little sharks teeth on the edge of the blade. Incredibly sharp and cuts really easily.
Personally I've never seen true Damascus steel used outside of blades and maybe a few trinkets. As far as metals go it's really best as a blade metal because of the sawtooth effect from the metal folding when sharpened. It has weaknesses that make it unsuitable for most other uses, not least of which is the potential of layer separation under stress.
What I would be curious to know is if it's REAL Damascus steel or an imitation. I know there is "The Flair" mod which claims to be Damascus steel, but it's really pattern welded 316 stainless steel.
If it's REAL Damascus steel and not a modern stainless steel/carbonate forgery then it will eventually rust unless it's regularly cleaned and oiled.

Oh lookey there ....... another Purdey![]()
Back in the day, all shotgun barrels were Damascus steel, but you can't use modern smokeless gun powder with real Damascus barrels.
And you can still buy a new one (if you gots enough cash that is) Purdey Over & Under 12 Bore - MAKERS CASE, BRADLEY TALLETT for sale (929751259)
The barrels on my old "wall hanger" look like this.
It does indeed have a texture! Feels nice and grainy.love the damascus steel look but I've never seen it in real life, does it have a texture or just the look?
