Damascus Pocket folding knife

I am amazed that a knife of this quality can be sold for only around $40.How often do you see a beautifully finished wood handle knife with NO VISIBLE SCREWS in the wood?How did they do that? I wish there were more wood handle knives with totally hidden screws.The wood is nicely framed in polished silver metal, and the substantial blade is real Damascus, and impressively done.This is easily a $150 knife... for about one quarter of that price.My only suggestion for improvement would be the "traffic cone orange" colored backspacer is not a good match for the lovely woodgrain and this needs to be replaced with a black colored backspacer (or brown, or silver, or gray, or ivory,... but not fluorescent orange).Aside from that, this knife a extremely impressive, and quite a bargain.

Background: I enjoy knives. I usually only buy autos, but needed an edc for chores when I don't want to beat my expensive knives up and/or lose them. Also, this was a "few beers in" purchase, that I wouldn't have normally bought.Product: This knife is great, came relatively sharp, was absolutely beautiful, and after cutting plastic and net wrap off 8 bales, has held its edge well. This is very hard on an edge. I sharpened it tonight, and you can shave with it now.One of my favorite features, and biggest beef with the Kershaw Launch series, is the recessed deep carry clip. I have lost/ caught on something, way to many times with my launch knives due to the clip being to flared at the end. This knife is almost flush, but still easily slides into your pocket. My Carhartt bibs are quite a bit thicker, and still works nicely.The wood is nicely done, flipper action is smooth, but not as good as a Civivi, Damascus blade is beautiful, fits my hand nicely, and extremely well thought out carry clip.I have knives that are 5-8 times the price of this one, and this has been one of my favorite surprise knife purchases to date. I will probably order more for presents for friends and family.Overall one of the best bangs for your buck that I have stumbled across.

Awesome knife! REAL Damascus for sure & razor sharp out of the box. I Love this knife. Edge is high carbon steel & easy to keep sharp & maintain. I bought several of these Aubey knives. Some fo me & some for gifts. Everybody Loves them.

I normally read reviews but don't write them. It's necessary on this knife. It's a very nice knife, super sharp out of the box. I would give 5 starts, except for one thing. IT IS NOT REAL DAMASCUS STEEL. The Damascus pattern is laser etched. It looks very nice, like I said it's a very nice knife and well built, but it is NOT Damascus.

As an avid collector of cutlery, I was in the market for a new pocket knife and there is little to complain about this one. Sharp right out of the packaging. The wood scales are a nice dark finish. Quick release with thumb or finger and locks pretty sturdy. Has a lanyard hole (if that's a requirement for you).Fits very snug in the leather sheath it came with which you can wear vertically or horizontally depending on the belt. It's new leather, so may take a bit to weave it through. Snap closure is sturdy and feels durable.I don't have gigantic hands, but only three fingers keep purchase on the scales, I have larger full tang knives I carry and this was bought to just be a pocket knife. The choil is deep, which is good because there is no gimping on the top of the blade but with some file work can be corrected for my needs. The blade has that distinct Damascus look and feel but it sandwiches steel inside the blade and you may see a faint line along the top. Near the butt of the knife there is a unique pattern. There is no pocket clip nor does there be any preset holes to attach one.Overall, I don't have much to complain about. Good price point, blade came as described and the sheath is perfect. I don't like to purchase a blade without a sheath, personally. I would recommend this to any knife enthusiast looking for a simple yet beautiful EDC knife for simple cutting and tooling.

Nice knife. Sharp out of the package. The bearing is super smooth and frictionless. Well made. The aluminum handle,while textured is a little bit is slippery. Micarta would be better. The blade is an actual layered Damascus where you can feel the layers, not laser etched. I have other VG10 blades so it should hold an edge well but have not put it through it's paces. Pocket clip is heavy duty. Overall a great product for the price.

I love this little knife. Beautiful and sharp, forever sharp (with a little care). Perfect size, simple, solid and reliable.

Awesome knife sharp will shave you out the box use it every day I have gifted at least half dozen of these an own 3 myself
