I've been commissioned to make a Damascus steel knife for a friend...so I might just be coming to you guys for tips!

I won't have time in the next few months, but I hope to settle down to it at same stage. I have a small kiln, so I will be able to do small castings and dichroic glass. I also have a smiths bench and a good set of silversmithing tools, and a lathe, so I hope to make some nice blades and handles.

You can buy Damascus steel bar - ready for cutting shaping etc.

Also lots of Damascus blades available for handling? ( is that the correct term - for you to fit handles).

I wish I had a friend like that.

Guys, the poor OP wanted advice on water stones, not rabbiting on about kitchen utensils.
Please keep on topic.

I wondered how far this one would deviate!

I look forward to this new trend in moderator action.
