Poshland Handmade Damascus Steel 9 Inches Full Tang Skiner Knife - Solid Blank Blade

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.

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...

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.

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

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

I've owned alot of knives but none of them ever felt this nice in my hand. Blows my mind that knives of this quality for a affordable price. The craftsmanship is amazing!! Looks like a knife that could have won Forged in fire.

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.

Bad knife, rusty up and down the tang of the knife, etched in finger prints on one site of blade scratches on the other side, pins that hold on handle are raised and uncomfortable to hold
