Stainless Steel Damascus (Damasteel) zip tag for the travel bag.Had a small offcut from a recent blade I made so I thought I would make a little tag out of it, I think it looks ok.
It was actually pretty simple to do, takes longer to get the scratches out than to make the tag. It would probably look cool if you put a coin edge around the entire tag, I'll keep it in mind for next time.
Hey Doug, That looks really cool, great idea to use the cut off. It's interesting how leathercrafters that also do other crafts such as knifemaking, blacksmithing, woodworking, etc find cool ways to integrate their crafts. If you ever make a few more I would love to get my hands on one just for the coolness factor of having a Damascus zip tag 😁
@Doug Nice!
Would live to see that with some jimping along the top to make the zip more tactile and the Damascus pop out!
Must have been a pain to get that ring indexed into the hole. Bravo.
