damascus bowie

Gut instinct...I'd say it's probably not too great, for starters I'm not a big fan of mixing high and low carbon steels, just don't see the point in it. There seems to be very little contrast in the pattern, which depending on your tastes can be good or bad. Fit and finish on it doesn't look too great, I can see large gaps in several places like the ricasso and guard, and guard and handle. The grind lines are uneven and washed out, I personally would not buy a knife like that for $80.
