AUBEY Damascus Pocket Knife for Men, Forged 2.95" Damascus Steel Blade DMHY

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.

So far it’s been a great knife. It is super sharp. It has not been used enough to see how it holds an edge.

Seems to be pretty decent quality. Looks great. Blade pivot needed a little oil and breaking in. Time will tell how well it holds and edge, but out of the box, it’s sharp.

Beautiful knife. My husband loved it!

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.

Beautiful knife..very sharp purchased one for myself and another for a bday gift..both of us are very satisfied

Fits great in the pocket, or on the belt. I'm giving it a three star because the hinge is very loose, and the blade will easily fold back in while in use which would/will ultimately cause a serious cut(s). To tighten the screws you will need a very small hex screwdriver that I have yet to acquire the right size to tighten it up.
