Budk trolling?

Is it common practice with Damascus to leave the steel(s) vague or un-stated? (is that even a word?)

No.
Well, it's not common practice if:
- the Smith is someone worth knowing or wants his name associated with his work.
- it is Actually Pattern Welded steel, and not just etched.
- it is of a decent quality for cutlery.

Otherwise, I wouldn't trust it.
 
  • Keen 4 1/2" "raindrop" Damascus steel blade
  • Blade enhanced with brooding blue finish
  • Handsome blue pakkwood handle
  • Includes genuine leather sheath
  • Lanyard hole built into handle
  • Overall length: 8 7/8"
 
I can't see the "brooding blue" blade as anything but rusty-looking brown with some blue tint to it.

I'll go out on that limb.
The very same thing that makes any other knife worth more than 50.00.
Someone spent the time to design, tool up, produce, and advertise it.

Not all 20.00 knife makers want to stay at the 20.00 level. Not when the market is yelping for more, and better.

Would I buy it? Maybe down the road a bit...

When I was a kid, case knives were 3.00 everywhere. Things change.
Look at bread or coffee. 15.00 to sit and have a cup w/ some bread. It's still water, and flour.

Ok have to ask what year were case knives $3.00. Also is Gordon Ramsey toasting bread and brewing your cup of joe for $15.00?
 
1965 at the candy store at the bottom of LockWood Ave, Yonkers. We'd hustle up quarters to go buy them,

And... no Gordon doesn't come up here much.
Carrabelle Junction Sandwich shoppe. Cup of coffee, everything bagel, tip... 15 smackers every morn.

Livin' the dream brother... Livin' the dream.

Likely low quality. What is for sale is the story - words that sound good but for which the seller cannot be held to account.

"Like the vast, open ocean before a storm - dark blue and seething in a beautiful rage - Timber Wolf's Oceanus Fixed Blade Knife is nothing short of breathtaking - a rare vision in a world of ordinary cutlery. Gorgeous, savage, yet surprisingly affordable, the Oceanus represents not only the apex of fixed blade knife design, but collector value, as well. The 4 1/2" drop point blade is hand-forged from high carbon "raindrop" Damascus steel, unmistakable by its torrent of concentric circles that, together, mirror ripples on still water during a rainstorm. The distinctive steel is stunning on it's own, but the Oceanus ventures further, casting a brooding blue spell over the graceful blade. Employing a unique, painstaking colorization process, the blade's swirling melange of contrasting eddies and waves is highlighted and enhanced by a rich midnight blue finish. The vivid blue hue blends seamlessly with the meticulously hand-hammered and folded steel, shimmering with an otherworldly boldness and sparkling with radiant luminosity. It's easy to get carried away with the Oceanus' incredible visual allure, but make no mistake - this is no mere showpiece, best relegated to the display case. Like the awe- and fear-provoking Titan after which it's named, the Oceanus is robust and potent - more than capable of tackling even the most vigorous cutting jobs. And it's always a pleasure to wield, thanks to impeccable weight distribution and an ergonomically contoured pakkawood handle. Rustic and tranquil, the blue-stained pakkawood's delicate woodgrain and mellow shades of azure, cobalt and indigo exquisitely offset the unabashed vibrancy of the blue Damascus blade and mirror-polished nickel silver bolsters. A reinforced lanyard hole is built in to the handle for easy tethering and lashing, and the Oceanus includes a handsome genuine leather sheath for convenient transport and storage. Whether hacking and slashing its way through tough field chores or being showcased in a fine knife collection, Timber Wolf's Oceanus Fixed Blade Knife always performs with grace and vigor. This wonder of knife design is truly precious - a bladed gem to be treasured for a lifetime and beyond." :rolleyes:

This knife isn't looking for an owner...it's looking for a date. I'm going to steal all these words for a fake post on Match.com...
 
Made two small changes. I think I'm going to get this on some business cards:
