Review: Very good quality - Im no good at forging myself because im a wood working guy sobi got the blank and made my own handle . The blank is real damascus and came to me sharp enough to shave with. Love it
Review: Great blank to customize! - Great starting point for a beginner. Blank is of great quality and the thickness is perfect. I’d’ve preferred a handle that could be imbedded into the handle with just the pins holding it together, vs a pre-shaped handle with scales but I believe I can modify one to suit my preference. The pattern on my example is gorgeous & for the price, buy a couple and have fun customizing it to your tastes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice knife
*by L***G on May 27, 2020*

I customized mine a little. I don't like to the pointed edge on the blade. For one, the pointed edge isn't good for slicing meat; it just scrapes. For slicing meat, the edge has to be continuous long. Put couple of holes just for aesthetic look. Handle is made with red cedar. Turned out okay. Tested it to dress a hog, work great.
