Cons: None
nice looking, sturdy
Doesn't see much use other than box opening and such, but is perfect for grandpa's pocket. It seems to be surprisingly sturdy, workmanship is excellent, and quite beautiful. This is the first Damascus knife I've purchased but won't be the last. Highly recomended.

Nice knife
Use as a daily carry. Having one that functions well and looks this good is an added bonus.

Nice Damascus
I bought this for a grandson as part of a collection I started about 10 years ago. Would have given it a 5 rating if it had been manufactured in USA.

Great knife for the Price!
I wasn't expecting this kind of quality for the price I paid, but I was pleasantly surprised. The wood grain was superb, and the knife was solidly built.

Extremely Pretty knife
I use this knife for every day tasks, and it is very functional. Whether or not it is real Damascus, which it may well be, the handle is truly the crowning beauty of the knife. Lovely product.

I don't regret buying it, but wouldn't do so again
Overall, this is a decent little knife for the money. (It is very small). While this isn't a high quality knife or something you will pass down to your kid, it is a nice looking knife on the surface. If you wanted to give a cheap gift to someone not into quality knives (meaning they wouldn't appreciate a $100 knife over a $30 knife) then give them this one. It looks nice and comes pretty sharp. If you are a knife nut then don't waste your money on this one. NOTE: It is made in China (or was when I bought it) and while hidden very well, it does say so on the knife itself.

Feels, looks, and cuts like a cheap knife! Damascus?!!!LOL
Sorry, I am a knife snob, and this is the one of the worst examples of a damascus(?) blade, you will find on the market. I am embarrassed that I bought it(probably in my tool box, never my knife case), this is THE only knife that I have regretted buying. I had a Boker Senior that I loved, some nicer damascus blades too, and I can tell the blades are genuine damascus, but this one just does not look or feel right. Also, the secondary bevel felt like it was at like 40 degrees which is highly ineffective. Also, if a knife does not have a clip, it should come with a pouch, or a sheath. I don't care if its a 5 cent cotton sack, even the worst knife makers know that! I used to be an avid boker fan and collector, until I learned about knives, Boker knives are highly overpriced and they couldn't hold a candle for most japanese knife makers. Go ahead and compare a Boker to an Mcusta that costs half as much. This doesn't mean I won't buy another Boker, I just don't know how some brands like Boker and Spyderco(gag) charge twice as much as they should for knives and are still in business.
