this knife was a Christmas present for our brother in law. My husband put a handle on it and it came out looking awesome , sharp and good looking steal. our brother in law loved it for a great kitchen pairing knife.

Damascus pattern was alright, would have liked to see more of the carbon removed from the handle. Edge is pretty crumby, but with some sharpening it can cut. Overall good for the price

My daughter has fallen in love with Damascus kitchen cutlery. In order to prevent her from buying a bunch of it all at once I began building her a matching set piece by piece, once I learned of her appreciation for this really nice cutlery. I told her if my builds were not satisfactory to let me know and I would not be offended. Thankfully, for my ego, she has really liked them. I am building them with cherry handles, and a turquoise resin mix. She likes the combo.This paring knife is thin, yet strong, and easy to obtain a sharp edge and it holds it well. I am very pleased with it and more importantly, so is my daughter.

It is a basic shape with an edge ready to finish and shape your blade and add a handle of your choice.

Overall is not what I was hoping for.

got this as a Bday present for my hubby. He is a handy guy, and we love watching Forged in Fire together. He absolutely loved the idea of being able to make custom scales for a knife. This knife has an absolutely gorgeous Damascus pattern, and is a great size for a man’s hand, as a utility knife.

Overall, this blade is worth the money. The pattern was pretty standard but 10 hours in a coffee solution really brought it to life. I’ll buy again.

This knife is very sharp, which is expected. However, it is also fragile because of how it bonds between carbon and metal.
