These are two of my formerly best deer butchering knives, they started life out as high quality 7" blades. Now I've had them for so long they almost seem like members of the family. My question is, when is a knife worn out, and do I just throw them away, or do I have a little ceremony, like disposing an American flag?

That looks like something you'd find in a high security prison? But your build job is way more professional. Nice piece.
That is unique design. You son has talent that should be encouraged.
I'd suggest getting him to attend some knife making seminars or classes. My friend at haw creek puts on a seminar sometimes and he knows where the good ones are at as well

His great grandfather is his inspiration. See one of his knives below. It is double edged. The only double edged knife I ever knew he made. Didn’t find it until he passed away last year and my grandson found it in my Dads tool box.
Interesting, I see that he used a Nicholson file as the blade material, which is an excellent material made from 1095 high carbon steel. Now nicholson files are made in mexico with lesser quality steel, but the US ones are still available at yard sales. Old railroad hacksaw blades that they used to cut steel railroad rails make an interesting knife, with the big teeth for the spine, making a survival type knife.
That is a fine looking knife!
I love the look of Damascus, and the heating process to make it is very interesting. But what is the handle made of? I have never seen a handle like that?
