"Right from the start I felt the Highlander Damascus was overpriced, but I was happy with the standard model, so when there was a 30% sale I gave in. I got the knife and it was very dull and took about an hour to buff and polish the blade to get any pattern out of it. When the pattern did appear, it was dull, faded, not a quality Damascus process. I must say I have been very impressed with the quality of the Pakistan made Timber Rattler and Timber Wolf to be superb. But the Chinese made Damascus I'm not so impressed. After sharpening and buffing it's O.K. but still at 30% off I think it's overpriced."
