This is basically what i got on this knife from budk. A damascus folder for 50$ seemed too good to be true ( at least from the sites i use ) so i started digging and came up with nothing. Only the sites selling kriegar knives seem to have anything on them.


What do you guys think of this knife and Kriegar knives?
Worth the buy or are they taking me for a ride?

You should post this in General Knife Discussion, this is for reviews.
Knife is probably made in Pakistan. Maybe somewhere else in SE Asia. It is not USA, European or Japan made. In all those places slab of damascus this size is at least double the price of this knife.

The reason it's so inexpensive is that it's very small at only 5.5inches and its most likely made from low quality Pakistani Damascus. For like $10-$15 more you could pick up something like the Kershaw Chive or Scallion in Damascus steel and know that you are getting a high quality knife that's made in the US.
