Poshland BC-69 Handmade Damascus Steel 5.50 Inches Full Tang Skiner Knife

This blade I purchased is positively beautiful! well worth the investment... I would definitely gift this to a collector and feel proud about it... I The handle is beautifully put together is handle heavy still it lets you feel confident that the blade is in your hand... And the sheath is a perfect accompaniment to it not overly ornate very functional...

nice looking knife. Has some weight to it and the belt loop on the sheath is poorly fastened. it wont last long for sure.

This is a full-tang knife with sturdy build, decent handle fit, and superior blade specs. It has good weight balance between handle and blade, and the handle has the proper ergonomics for a firm and controlled grip. The blade curvature is smooth and lends to accurate sharpening. Thickness of the spine/blade body is more than adequate for a knife of this size, and the taper-to-edge angle is proper and evenly machined. The steel is probably 90%+ grade Damascus with hardness in the ideal range as it takes sharpening as it should...not quick but holds its edge adequately before dulling. There are some very minor flaws in craftsmanship on the handle, with a small chip in the antler material causing an uneven surface and not-quite-perfect alignment of bone/antler and brass spacers that really isn't noticeable in handling the knife. I used this knife to butcher a 50-lb hog and had no problem once I put a sharp edge on the blade. It sliced easily through tough hide and tendons. Did the entire hog (boneless filet) and near the end the blade started to dull down to about 80%, ran it over my diamond sharpener 10x10 passes on a side x 2 grits and it got right back to 95%+ sharp again. I'm rating it 4* because this knife is not the same quality of steel or workmanship as higher-end knives that go $50+ but it is more than worth the price and is a fine everyday utility carry knife. Already recommended it to two friends. $ for quality this is an exceptional value.

I wanted the green handle one but instead I got the brown. I will keep it for my collection. It looks well made with imperfections as is hand made. I figured is probably not hardened or tempered, but for my collection it works. I will order it again hopefully I get the green one this time.

After reading about how horable cheap Pakistani demascus is I had to satisfy my curiosity. Other than being really soft everyone comparing this stuff to expensive customs is full of it. I recommend looking up the videos of the sweatshops making these. Workers are actually pretty skilled for a bunch of guys in sandals and no safety glasses. I was actually surprised how decent the handle fitting is. It's pretty for $20 I can't complain. Contrary to what some say they don't contain lead according to my test strips. If this was heat treated it would be worth a lot more. I did heat treat one and got around 55rc. This one is pretty and my girlfriend likes it so it can be her truck knife. If it gets stolen who cares otherwise it's a really sweet knife for the price and someone with realistic expectations.

Very well made knife, so far it’s holding up well.

This knife i had high hopes for! I'll start with the fact that it is indeed folded steel not etched or engraved. the edge seems sharp, and the Kinfe sheath looked great it had some threads that are loose. The leather looked to be of good quality as well. The back spine of the knife has a raised edge that looks like a split in the billet at the right angle. I don't know if it is but it is definitely a raised edge that wasn't paid attention to. I fear it could be a safety issue. The other biggest problem with this knife is that the handle of the knife which is supposed to be 3 different high-grade materials. There ae scuff marks and discoloration all over the handle and especially in the black part of the handle. Not just on one side of the knife but on both sides of the handle. I feel like this is a quality control issue. This was a birthday gift for my nephew who pointed out these defects.

Beautiful pattern sharp as a razor feels great in the hand. Have not tested durability yet but I am sure it will be a great addition to my camping bag it’s fairly thick and has many uses. I liked it so much I bought 2 of these just to have a nice one that’s not beat up lol

Xmas gift for my husband. He loves it

The brass strips separating the handle segments are to large and cot into your hands. The blade however is nice.

I like the knife it looks beautiful if youre not expecting perfection...the few FLAWS i dislike about it are minor for a first knife online..the handle was NOT FINISHED having SHARP edges on the spacers and little GAPS in them and a CRACK in the handle that looks like it was filled with resin but im not sure..HAD to get it sharpened and it is still only just sharp cant shave hairs on my arm like i would like to see..but still as a first online knife and none others to compare it to i like the value. EDIT after first and second use....so as mentioned the handle seemed unfinished and as a result the knife BROKE, I have 5 dollar knives that have been put through far more abuse than this,for a bushcraft knife this is NOT ACCEPTABLE ...also im pretty sure the blade is damascas but its WELDED on to the handle. DO NOT BUY FROM POSHLAND!! Also if you want to have a replacement sent you had better find out if its durable enough within the 90 days or there is no way to talk with customer service about this? Ive literally gone camping twice with this and it broke second time?

Le manche du couteau est un peu différent de ce que je pensais lors de mon achat

Good
