This knife far exceeded my expectations. I have extremely satisfied with the craftsmanship. I have never owned a Damascus steel blade before, but to have one in the form of a kitchen knife is beyond belief. I look forward to the many years i get to use this knife in preparing meals. Thank you for the quality knife, prompt service and replies to my inquiries

I mainly purchased the Balisong knife for collection purpose.
It is somehow symbolic of the Phlilippines for where it originated.
It is going to be displayed at one of my cases for everybody to see.
A very proud Filipino indeed.

The knife I received was nice, but I thought I was going to receive the one in the picture. The stag was plain compared to the one in the picture. The workmanship was good however so I was pleased by that.

Quality knives. I bought four this week. Even my wife made me buy her a matching knife. She said it was love at first sight. You don’t hear that every day!
