    I bought this knife, it’s the best knife I’ve ever owned. It’s beautiful and very sturdy, well built. It is heavier than it looks, which I like, because it feels like a well made knife. I will definitely buy another one because it’s a work of art. I’m going to order a Bowie next time.

    I've been watching a lot of your videos and I really enjoy them and I've learned a lot from them myself making knives the one thing that I'm doing is taking notes of what you're doing and also what I have learned in my own experience and putting them down on paper to write a book I'm writing a book called prepping Damascus

    I have a German knife of this shape, but this looks stunning!! The damascus pattern is nice. the wooden handle gives it looks more of a usable knife rather than a show piece. Salute
