We are involved in an very interesting world of knives - custom knifemaking is unique and extremely specialized. There are thousands of knife artists from around the world making knives of all sizes, prices, materials, designs for the collector and user.

The custom knife market has spawned several secondary artist markets that add to custom knives in their own way - the engravers, scrimshaw artists and even professional makers of damascus. One of the top makers of damascus for sale to other knifemakers is Robert Eggerling. His a prolific forger and artist. I have never seen a knife that was made by him yet I have seen hundreds (maybe thousands) of custom knives that utilize his incredible damascus.

His patterns and damascus designs are some of the most original and artistic - Eggerling damascus has a signature look and bold pattern. Some of the top names in custom knives use his damascus steel - Jerry Corbit, Michael Zscherny, Wayne Whittaker, Michael J. Smith, George Baartman, Fred Durio and many more.

Below is a gallery of his damascus work - more pictures will be added as time progresses.
