I was out pick'n today and ran into a str8 with an etching of the word Damascus wrapped with twin snakes. It had a tin or metal scale which looks to have originally been horribly copper plated. No other markings. The blade looked stainless, not the swirly damascus i've seen. Anyone run across this before or know the mft??? Sorry no pic. He was asking $10. Blade looked okay, but not willing to risk it on a knock off. Any ideas??? Thanks
