This deal is arguably better, with every S35V scale/blade and Damascus variants included at the same price, sold by manufacturer and fulfilled by Amazon. If I didn't have one clipped to my pocket I'd be clicking Buy Now without blinking.
In case anyone is wondering, you buy the Damascus variant for the looks, not for the steel quality. According to a review [amazon.com], the Damascus is a compound of 10Cr15CoMoV and 9Cr18MoV. Likewise, note the carbon fiber scales aren't solid carbon fiber: "Handle Material Twill Carbon Fiber Overlay On Black G10."
Damascus variants of any knife are typically more expensive, so this is (compared to usual price or sale history) the slicker deal. The S35V versions have hit this price point numerous times, but I've never seen the Damascus version go this low.
However...
The S35V version will perform better. It is arguably one of the very best steels for an EDC folding knife. I really love the micarta handle, too. I prefer the feel over the G-10 on my Griptilian.
- at a baby shower, helping out with the balloon arch and now you gotta cut a string. You can either leave your post, find a pair of scissor, cut or just reach into your pocket and whip out your blade
- at dinner and your kid is complaining about how the straw is too long. Whip out the blade and shorten that stick
- just received an Amazon package and couldn't wait to take it into the house to open it. Whip out the blade and open it up on the spot
- you and your partner is about to share a dessert. You asked the cashier for a knife and she handed you a fork. Whip out your blade, clean it with napkin, then slice the dessert down the middle (this just happened yesterday actually)
If you're planning on opening boxes only, the folding utility knives are great options. I went with a pocket knife because a wise man once said, never go anywhere without a knife. You gotta be careful if you go to places with metal detectors

Are they only really useful if you like go hunting or camping and shit or if you live in a sketchy area?
Some quick things, cutting string or rope. Scraping gunk of something, cutting tough bits of food at the cafeteria when you're only given a crappy compostable butter knife, nearly any time in doing yard work, I find a use.

If we are talking utility knives like fox boxes, then box cutters work just fine. But 3" seems rather stubby to me.

BTW There's a referral offer where the person using the link to buy gets $5 off and you get 100 points, it might be potentially possible to use two email accounts and refer yourself, though I'm not sure how often they have deals that would make it worth it. Many items on clearance are not discounted and it seems only the Odium and Pintail are.
