For all of you saying it is fake Damascus you are wrong real Damascus is only shown when etched so even real Damascus knives can have the pattern scratched off of it in fact when Damascus is freshly forged and sanded it looks like normal steel so it is actually real

This was my first knife off of budk, the handle is real burnt bone. The lock is easy to use, and is tight so no screws fall out. The polished brass fits in really well, with no gaps, my only problem is that the Damascus is a finish, its not real. I think I'll scratch the rest of mine off and polish the blade.

I bought this blade on the belief that it was Damascus steel and not the Damascus pattern finish that I got. Blade itself was sharp out of the box and lock works well. I'm just unhappy that it was not the steel that was advertised. I could have found the same quality blade for cheaper on the site, as it is I've overpaid for a stamped pattern making this knife a pocket piece instead of the show piece I intended.

This is a great knife for anybody looking for a knife to start a collection or add to one. the quality of the knife, feel, and craftsmanship is great I love it. it look better in your hands once you get it. I would recommend this knife and the this brand product to anybody...

It came more dull than expected but sharpening it fixed that, I was disappointed to find that it was made in china, and the damascus is artificial, I scratched some of it off one and it was just an average steel blade.

great knife, very sturdy not as sharp as i expected but a quick sharpening fixed that right up. my order was about a day late and the lock hurts the finger if you open a close the knife repeatedly, in general beautiful knife.

Amazing quality! From the decorative Damascus to the polished brass and bone! Worth far more than the 50$. Makes a great gift to, buy one, you won't be sorry.

The quality of this knife is outstanding. From the beautiful Damascus to the unique burnt bone this knife screams quality. The blade comes out without assistance and locks in to place, once locked it really feels like a fixed blade. Pictures cannot capture the mirror finish on the fittings, nor the depth of the blade and handle.
