Boker damascus?

[SCWillson]

I was browsing through Amazon's knife sections and stumbled upon a number of fairly inexpensive (<$100) Boker damascus folders. They really look nice in the photos, and I've wanted a damascus blade since I was in junior high and first saw damascus steel, but pictures can be deceiving.

So has anyone here handled any of these Boker knives? What is their quality? I know they won't be equal to $300+ damascus knives, but would they be a worthwhile purchase?

Boker's damascus knives really run the gamut of pricing. http://www.boker.de/us/search/damascus-0-9999-1-0.html What you were looking at was likely some of their 37 layer damascus knives.


Edit: Also, you may want to check out this thread for more useful "hands-on" information than my first post.

Hope this helps.
