Robert,
Just my 2 cents, but I think we'll get to that discussion when we wrap up the definition of "custom" and start on "sole authorship." Knifemakers typically don't state the source of their steel, in other words they'll state that it's ATS-34 or 1095, and not that it's Admiral 1095, etc. Damascus is a little different in that if it's the maker's own damascus, or say, damascus from a well-known maker, then it may enhance the value/desirability of the knife. Otherwise, it may not be that different than barstock.
