DG-28 Handmade Damascus Steel Knife Beautiful Rose Wood Handle

This dagger is extremely well made. Looks great, good quality and balance. Very sharp. Handles very well. Read more

The most impressive thing to me is the fit and finish of this knife. There are no gaps between the blade and guard nor is there any blade wiggle, the "pommel" cap is perfectly peened, and the handle is nicely smoothed. It is a THICK handle though—if you have a small hand, you will have difficulty grasping this knife. It also came to me well-sharpened. Just incredibly, incredibly impressed with the quality of this knife, especially for the price. Read more

This dagger is quite excellent! The handle is well finished and the pattern on the blade crossguard and pomel are unique and beautiful. Blade came relatively sharp. My one and only issue is that the pommel and crossguard are slightly off center but it's minimal and almost unnoticeable. I included pictures to show this. Read more

Knife collector. My first impression is that this is a great knife especially for $50. No significant visible defects. It's REAL Damascus. Grind lines are pretty straight. Edge lines are a little lope sided towards the tip but nothing drastic. It was clearly made and ground by hand..... which it better. The stacked leather handle is 95% smoothe with a little uneven towards the pommel. No complaints though. Nice peen job being ground smooth. No play. Nice and right. Have not used it yet but it seems like it will be a worker. It is a dagger. Not a tree cutter. For stabbing and slicing it will do a great job. The sheath is better than expected. I usually get worse. Don't feel I need to get a new one. Overall........ I recommend. For $50 your odds are 75% good. Can't make any promises. Maybe I got a really good one 1st time out. Worth the risk. It's Amazon. Just return it if you get a bad one lol Read more

Quality blade. Holds edge well . Read more

Built to look cool but isn't very well put together. Rattaill to pommel doesn't look well peened which means this knife (I got the 8 inch) is likely glued together - which isn't going to last through much. It's a wall hanger. Hard to tell that from photos . I've bought some nice similar blades but this one is weak. Blade flexes easily which seems to indicate a weak blade to rattail interface. Sheath is a nice design but pretty thin. It is a unique design. Just weak. Kinda a Carnie blade. Buy it for looks but not for real use. But really, who uses knives like this? Anyone using this on anything but meat or rope would be pretty foolish. It's obviously a show blade and I guess for that it's ok. It's a big knife, handle and all Read more

Cool design. Read more

I love the look of this knife. The quality is quite acceptable for my use, but it did come covered in thick oil (almost like motor oil) which has proven difficult to clean. The wood handle has been affected by the oil and will likely need to be refinished once it's truly clean of the oil. Read more
