My wifes Grandfather makes custom knives. So this year I asked for a tomahawk. He patterned it after a tomahawk made by an Indian tribe out west. Love it.
I never touch them. They stay in the case put up in the closet not even on display. I do show them to people but I don't want to take any chances of anything happening to them.
Yes it is damascus steel. He used to spend all year making knives and would take them out to Sturgis and sell them all in two days, no matter how much he asked.
