AUBEY Damascus Pocket Knife for Men, Forged 2.95" VG10 Damascus Steel Folding Knife with Sheath, Rain-drop Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, EDC Knife for Camping

AUBEY Damascus Pocket Knife, Forged VG10 Damascus Steel, with Sheath. Overall, the knife is very well-made, with no demerits. I like its overall heft and feel, it's a substantial knife that does not feel overweight. The handle is attractive and comfortable, with all edges smoothly rounded. Lock-up is positive, with no blade play or looseness. The lock disengages easily. The knife positively holds the blade closed. The blade is perfectly centered when closed. The knife is easy to open and close single-handed, with either hand. The knife required no break-in, other than I had to push the lock closed the very first time I used it, it's been perfect ever since (hundreds of locking/unlocking actions). The blade arrived very sharp, requiring no honing or other attention. The Damascus blade is very attractive, well-proportioned, and (to me) looks great with the patterned metal handle. The solid well-made leather sheath is a bit oversized for the knife, but it looks nice and its 2-way belt loop works well. I replaced the small supplied lanyard with one I made from braided paracord. Reasons for not giving 5-star ratings for craftsmanship and material: sheath coloring is inconsistent and a little sloppy, knife hardware should be dark-toned (pewter, titanium, or black) instead of bright stainless, the supplied lanyard is inadequate. I'm very pleased with this knife and would recommend it to friends and family.

Got this for boyfriend’s birthday. It came super sharp out the box and the Damascus was breathtaking. He was really impressed with the quality of it and could tell it was hand made.I would love to find another for myself.Just wish it had a belt clip.

WHAT A KNIFE! Beautiful, very sharp and functional for my job.

Really nice knife, came in a little black box with a very nice leather case included. Damascus looks amazing and the leather top shelf and stitched! Smooth opening with locking blade.

Just received my knife today. For the price I wasn’t expecting much. Upon first inspection the blade seams to be decently built. It certainly doesn’t appear to true Damascus but again for the price it’s not surprising. The blade has a decent edge right out of the box. My only worry is the handle appears to be very cheap. I use my pocket knives daily so we shall see if this knife stands the test of time.

It’s very sharp out the package. The blade is definitely laminated Damascus you can see in the photo the different metals wrapped around a core. The grind is even to the core too. It’s a nice attention to detail I would not expect to see in such an affordable knife. I don’t see any delaminating. Honestly if the handle broke I would make a new one to keep the blade

I'm ultimately really happy with this knife, and it's become my go-to everyday carry pocket knife for general use. Plus it's striking, it's got a great look to it. Finally, at just under 3", it meets the rules/laws in many places that may have a regulation on knives over 3", so it keeps you from running afoul of anything should that come up. It's fairly sharp, not going to win any awards but it'll get the job done and you're getting what you pay for compared to something really high end like CRKT.The opening mechanisms work well, with fairly smooth action and a good lock. I am able to quickly open this knife one-handed with either the thumb pin on the blade or the finger knob on the back of the blade while giving the knife a flick of the wrist.The leather sheath is actually quite decorative, and attaches to your belt. It's also small enough that even with the sheath it'd fit in my pocket fairly well.The only downside I've run into recently is I noticed the screw/bolt holding the knife to the handle had gotten loose. I was able to tighten it mostly with just my finger, it takes some kind of very small star style screw head that I'll have to get out to see if I can tighten it up more. Not completely unexpected for the price I paid but will have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't come loose enough it falls out and I lose something.

It's a decent blade steel. Looks really nice. Will it stand up to heavy use? Maybe not. But I keep it in my pocket because you never know when you need to open a box, remove a tag, etc... I use it all the time for light work.
