The knife I have planned for is 8" oal so maybe a touch longer by 1.5" in 3/16" stock would be perfect

So we're looking at 9" OAL, 1.5" wide X 3/16" thick? Do you want rough finished or precision ground? Also, I assume we are talking about a billet with a mono steel core, with damascus on the exterior?

I wasnt thinking damascus on the outside just a plain steel I just want the contrast between the core steel and the outside steel.
