Premium Damascus Steel Folding Hunting Knife - HNS LARG 5073 | Tactical Pocket Knife for Outdoor Camping, Survival & EDC | Razor Sharp Blade with Ergonomic Grip

This is not a solicited review, and I don't usually write a one, but I just received my order today, and I was delighted! I found the craftsmanship on this knife to be top notch. It is very aesthetically pleasing to look at, everything is well fitted, smooth and polished. Sharp out of the box, oiled (not in excess, and wrapped and packed well as expected. I can safely say that this unit was made/assembled by a craftsman and is a quality item. Fits well in the hand, heavy, but not cumbersome, opens and closes smoothly. I am picky, so I am told, but actually found not one complaint. I also like that the sheath has a welt and does not have any stamped decor. (That is just cheesy in my opinion) Other knives I have purchased from different vendors in my search for a quality knife, have had imperfections (some minor, some not) such as fitting, gaps, quality or aesthetics, that were displeasing and forced a decision to return or try another vendor. Any handmade item will have some slight aspect, but what you actually deliver to the customer will reflect the craftsmanship and pride of your product. I can now stop shopping around in the hopes of getting a decent knife that I can be proud to carry, with the quality and craftsmanship one would expect. This knife was actually worth the cost. I feel confident that the two additional knives I am ordering from this vendor today, for family gifts, will be just as amazing. this is now my EDC blade. I will update the durability rating, after actually utilizing it for some time, to give an accurate rating, but for now, I will give it 3 stars, but feel confident it will be raised to 5. if you are looking for a blade with a distinct look and great craftsmanship at a reasonable price, buy this one...enough said. Hope yours was made by the same person that crafted this one, and remember, each handmade item will vary slightly, but craftsmanship should not.
