If it’s damascus, it needs to be re-etched. Looks like carbon steel to me.
I also can’t find it anywhere online from Orvis
That doesn’t look anything like Damascus to me. Just looks like a patina.
It’s probably not Damascus. Anything Orvis is pricey.
It’s not Damascus. It’s just patina and wear which looks better imo 🙂
Nah its not just patina it clearly have this folding lines / Damascus lines if u look at the second picture:)
What’s on the other side? Any markings? Kelgin?
Not the same knife, but also a Damascus fixed blade labeled for Orvis. It was made by [Charlton LTD](https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/charlton-ltd-bird-trout-damascus-402600611).
Edit: Charlton LTD now appears to be [Damascus USA](https://www.damascususa.com). You could reach out to them and see if they recognize it…
Always look at the blade edge. If it’s made of folded Damascus steel, you should see the layers in the edge.
It might be a bird or trout style knife. Since others are not finding it on the Orvis site it was probably from a batch of knives in the past. You may want to reach out to Orvis or visit a location near you, if one is in traveling distance.
On another note I stopped at their Sandanona location in the past and they had one or two custom hand made knives in the store.
Can I post Pictures here in the comments?
As a fly fisherman and knife enthusiast, this excites me. Probably worth a good bit between the two hobbies.
I would re etch it so we could have a clearer view of the Damascus
