Buy it for looks, not function
"Bought strictly as a display knife. Quite obviously NOT Damascus or even pattern welded steel. Not at this price point. Not complaining, just stating the obvious. It's a surface machine grind and chemically treated effect. Looks nice and after dressing the edge it makes a functional letter opener. The sheath has the usual problems. Finish is better than many, but the male part of the snap drags on the blade and it won't take long to damage the blade."
