So the first round of test kits sold out quick I ordered a second round trying to incorporate the feedback I received

But we were also kicking around other kits to offer and I am open to ideas for items to be made in Damascus steel for turned wood handles

One is a Persian style letter opener just because I like that design

A spade style staple remover as a desk accessory

A damascus steel bottle opener

We even looked at a fork and spoon for sort of a small travel cutlery kit in Damascus (maybe stainless Damascus)

But really whay I am looking for are ideas. What accessories would you like to see as a damascus steel kit?

for those unfamilier with a "Persian" dagger this is a small steel handled Kard dagger I am basing the design on that would use the same turned handle like the dagger kits

Is it possible to create damascus steel pen kit parts? Clips (for either kitless, or as part of a kit), or all parts? Maybe just replacement bands and finial caps for existing kits where replacing these is possible?

Rings, clips, and end caps. What is a good basic pen kit I can purchase to use as a model for some of these basic parts to see if we can make them from Damascus? I can see offering those three parts at least

will do we are trying a few things like this damascus pen kit - still some work to do on it before we offer it and I need to see if the price can come in at a sellable price point

Id love to be able to get just a simple cigar or even Sierra kit in damascus. Sure clips and finials and tips and center rings would be great for every size but really you should start with the tried and popular. Then expand.

If you could make me damascus duck call rings that would be sweet!

I want to thank everyone here for the advice. In the past year I have taken the concept I had and the advice from here and other places to get to this:


ok I made it myself so don't laugh but without all of your input I wouldn't be here

Good luck with your website.
I would ask you consider a lighter page background. The black script writing is hard to read on the darker page even with the screen brightness cranked up.
