I know my steels and only buy VG10 last ridiculously long time before I need to sharpen on my fine German real carat diamond hone.

The last one of these I bought which looked remarkably similar wasn't even made of real layered steel, just a (remarkably crappy) print on the metal to make it look like it. I wouldn't expect much more at these bargain basement prices. Buyer beware.

This is absolutely a faux-Damascus printed (maybe etched?) pattern on the surface of the blade, and not a real, layered Damascus steel, guaranteed. I'm not against cheap knives (ask me about Winco's forged knocked) but I don't buy knives that have fake stuff printed on them to try to make them look like fancy knives. If that's not a red flag concerning the quality, I don't know what is. Surely these will cut, but they're cheap crap.

Paying extra for the 'cool' Damascus steel finish just means the actual quality of the knife is even cheaper than it has to be. There was once good reason for Damascus steel hundreds of years ago. Modern steel is in most cases better, so you're just paying for appearances. That's even assuming any of them are really DS, because they're usually not and just added for effect. Either with thin layers of real DS on worked on the faces of the blade made from modern steel anyway, or some other means like etching fake DS patterns. Might as well just buy some knives that are color coated instead. At least that has some use to it.

EDIT: I don't know anything about this particular knife and never owned one. Just object to using Damascus on modern blades on principle.

yeah that was my first thought too. if it was real damascus then the layering of the metals would make it harder to clean and bacteria would thrive, unless it was very well made, and youre not gonna get a very well made knife like that for this price.

oh i just looked at the pictures down the page, it literally says "Laser engraved, not Damascus pattern" lmao
