    i can think of one reason: it's expensive. who'd buy it?
    decades ago, bicolano bladesmiths used to purloin (daw!!) PNR rails, because the metal was suitable for making into knife blades. papa had such a pair of shop scissors, and they were indeed very good. they were even better than his made-in-usa tools, if i may say so.
    nowadays, these smiths make their hi quality blades from automotive bulitas, daw. i have one such. matibay nga, rust-resistant rin. and it keeps its sharpness well enough.
    damascus steel? i'm still dreaming...
