I was looking to do this as well, how much per piece? If I order like 100 but in different sizes

fireal · Post by **fireal** » 03 Mar 2012 10:03

about 250 usd a piece , im sure if buy in bulk can get a good discount though

Haha

I think you should share what's the painstaking process to make one of this.

Or else how to justify the usd250 price tag.

I seen those knives, so I know why it command such a premium

must enlighten the rest.

is it damascus steel??

usd250 is really too much (yeah I know it's tough work), imho usd100 is more reasonable ...

nope different from damascus steel , mokune gane is using diff types of metal and diffuse them together ( without melting) to form a billet
need very good understanding of metal and skill in preparation of the metal sheets
and after that then its forged to form patterns

I think this type of buckle is more suitable for big watches
