GVDV Damascus Steel Pocket Knife with G10 Handle, Handmade Folding Knife with Leather Sheath for Camping Survival, Knives for Men Dad Husband (Black)

Is a good knife worth the cost, no loose screws and the opening of the blade is just right. Not 100% convinced whether it's Damascus or not, the pattern appears to be laser etched but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not Damascus it could be 2 types of steel that are very similar in appearance and therefore wouldn't stand out so they just added the laser etch for looks. It does appear to be san mai though if you look you can see the center of the blade is a different color than the edges (tried my best to show this in the picture but zooming in so far the pic became a little fuzzy).All in all it's a well built and put together knife better than most at this price and comparable to ones I've had in the past that were around 2x the price. The blade came reasonably sharp, I sharpened it a little but it really wasn't necessary. The sheath/holder it came with is pretty meh quality wise but I don't really care, I just use the clip when carrying it so wouldn't have used it even if it was better quality just consider the fact it comes with one at this price a bonus.

I bought this for my 18 yr old son and he loves it. The mechanism is fluid and he used it for everything so it's very tough.

Everything about this knife, is very nice.Sharp enough to shave with right out the box. Solid weight to it.Effortlessly opens and closes. Belt clip is very strong, almost too strong.Blade looks great, I'm not convinced it's 100% Damascus, but it sure is pretty.Not sure it'd hold up if I dropped it on a hard surface. I have a feeling the handle might break. This is the only downside I have for this knife, and is it even considered a downside, if i've never dropped it to test if it'll break? Guess with my experience of knives which I carry daily, and just how it look and feels. I'm going to say it's likely to break if it has a decent fall onto cement, or a rock. My opinion take it or leave it.The Damascus style blade and how sharp the dang thing is, definitely worth the money. If you want something that will last forever or a long time. I think there are better options or read more reviews on how well this handle holds up.

I ordered mine because a friend had one and I enjoyed the feel. It has very snappy deployment and very sharp out of the box. The liner lock can get a bit stiff, but nothing I have had a done of issues with. The steel isn't premium and will not hold an edge forever. But, with proper care and understanding of the blade and it's limitations it is a solid option for a budget edc blade.

I just bought a second one after having one for a couple years. These knives are razor sharp and feel great in your hand. Use it occasionally and the first one is still the sharpest knife I have. Finger spring assist is nice too, I find myself playing with it while on zoom calls. Weight, length, balance, and of course sharpness are all strengths.

To start off this knife is totally beautiful. It fits well in my hand plus it’s super sharp. I haven’t had it long so I can’t really say how well it’ll hold up but so far it’s a great knife.

The media could not be loaded. I really like this knife. However there is a couple things to understand about this knife. First of all it is Damascus but it is San mai Damascus. That means that this is only a 3 layer weld with two soft layers of metal sandwiched onto a hardened piece of steel. It means this knife needs little maintenance and still retains the Damascus quality. Second thing is the sharpening stone that comes with the knife is very coarse. I recommend usinga smoother stone on this blade. Last of all the sheath is not leather it's just cheap vinyl. I recommend buying a stronger leather sheath if you plan on using it to carry the knife daily. All in all though this knife is actually made very good and is of decent quality. The blade opens smoothly and locks firmly. Theres no play in the blade and it comes very sharp. A great buy at the price range it selling for.

So yes, this has a Damascus print on top of actual Damascus steel, and yes that's kinda silly. But it looks great, and without the print, you really wouldn't be able to tell that it's Damascus because both steels used are very similar in color... The shape of the blade is unusual, it has a protrusion about 1/3 of the way down along the blade, at first I didn't know about this, but it makes opening packages so much easier! And now after sharpening it a few times, I can say that this "hump" does not negatively affect the ability to sharpen this blade. I have many, many knives, and this is the one I am currently carrying with me every day and using the most. It's sturdy, good looking, keeps an edge, fun to open, and has the clip on the right side for me.
