Poshland BC-T-1092 - Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Knife- Beautiful knife

Beautiful, sharp and great quality.

Excellent quality.Nice Damascus blade and beautifully made buffalo horn and bone handle at a great price.

I did not buy this knife for much real or hard use. I bought it for its beauty and to add to my collection. That doesn’t mean it might not be used at some point.I gave it a 3 star in craftsmanship for four main reasons that are pictured. Because none of the craftsmanship issues effected the working ability of the knife I chose not to rate it lower. There were tooling marks on one of the dark handle sections. When you look at the spine of the knife the bone and black colored sections don’t align evenly. Also, when you look at the spine the metal isn’t perfectly straight or even. Where the handle and heel of the knife meet the workmanship is pretty rough and unfinished. Any craftsman or artisan who takes any amount of pride in their work would not overlook these types of details in their work. Despite these craftsmanship flaws it is still a lovely knife.I will say that from other reviews I had read I expected it to be much worse than it is and was prepared to package it back up and return it. The different color sections of the handle align smoothly and neatly with the brass sections that separate the different colored sections. The brass rivets/pins are smoothly, neatly and evenly ground and aligned in the handle. I love the Damascus look of the blade. I may never know if it is real Damascus because I may never give it serious use.I know the price and value of a truly good knife. For the money I spent I got about what I can expect. I have no real complaints. It has a sharp edge. There are no burrs or obvious flaws in the edge. It is riveted full tang and feels pretty sturdy. I like the heavy leather taco style sheath. I like the feature that offers the option of carrying a striker. Looking at the striker sheath, I’m not sure if there is enough room in it for a striker, but it looks nice. The stitching on the sheath is evenly and well done with heavy duty thread. It has a double row of stitching.I like that the knife came in a plastic bag with oil in it. The oil wasn’t overdone, just enough to make sure the knife was in an environment that didn’t promote corrosion and offered additional protection.

The media could not be loaded. After reading about how horable cheap Pakistani demascus is I had to satisfy my curiosity. Other than being really soft everyone comparing this stuff to expensive customs is full of it. I recommend looking up the videos of the sweatshops making these. Workers are actually pretty skilled for a bunch of guys in sandals and no safety glasses. I was actually surprised how decent the handle fitting is. It's pretty for $20 I can't complain. Contrary to what some say they don't contain lead according to my test strips. If this was heat treated it would be worth a lot more. I did heat treat one and got around 55rc. This one is pretty and my girlfriend likes it so it can be her truck knife. If it gets stolen who cares otherwise it's a really sweet knife for the price and someone with realistic expectations.

Nice knife

This knife i had high hopes for! I'll start with the fact that it is indeed folded steel not etched or engraved. the edge seems sharp, and the Kinfe sheath looked great it had some threads that are loose. The leather looked to be of good quality as well.The back spine of the knife has a raised edge that looks like a split in the billet at the right angle. I don't know if it is but it is definitely a raised edge that wasn't paid attention to. I fear it could be a safety issue.The other biggest problem with this knife is that the handle of the knife which is supposed to be 3 different high-grade materials. There ae scuff marks and discoloration all over the handle and especially in the black part of the handle. Not just on one side of the knife but on both sides of the handle.I feel like this is a quality control issue. This was a birthday gift for my nephew who pointed out these defects.

Beautiful blade, excellent quality. Sheath is also quality leather and stitching. You can't go wrong at this price point.

This is a well balanced fixed Damascus steel blade. Fits well in the sheath provided. Fits well on the my belt through the belt loop and is comfortable to carry. The blade is sharp and the handle is well made with a great look to it was well.
