The crooks from Perkin sell a lot of shit knives from Pakistan. Perkin 'marketing' is undiluted bs. Often the price for a Perkin 'knife' should be a hint as to who and what we are dealing with (but then again the Böker is also cheap and Böker makes a lot of nice okay quality knives depending on the model range/knife line).I have this bushcraft knife from Perkin knife in the UK.. it cost me almost 95 euros. Real Damascus? I prefer to think that..

I know the reputation of Perkin, but the knife I bought is a really nice well constructed knife, perhaps is made in Pakistan, but is a nice piece of cutlery.

Dont buy from Perkin!!!
Walter is the man. All of his videos are wildly informative.

Ganzo... Kings of budget knive
I don't care if my knife comes from Pakistan, China, USA or Mars.. if is well constructed, nice blade shape, decent steel and safe to handle it will have for sure a place in my collection... All knives are welcome....Much like
If that knife is Pakistani "damascus", the odds are 0 that is is "historical" damascus, incredibly slim that it is pattern welded "damascus" steel, and quite likely that it is mystery steel that just has a pattern applied to it via some photochemical process
Hey guys,
I recently bought a new knife with a damascus blade. I am now trying to figure out if it is fake or real (as in a print or multiple steels forged together). So are there any main differences? I paid 90 euros for it. When looking on the top of the blade I can see the layers, however they are straight and very thin (thin blade also).
Thanks,

The Damascus debate is way over analyzed. I did myself a favor and watched this video. You should do the same. https://youtu.be/ISSGL4Ns2qw
You can always click on the link yourself and watch the video.
And that is why I asked who made the knife. Boker is probably not going to sell steel with an etched damascus pattern on it. That, I believe was the point. Etched vs not etched.
I would not trust Boker's Magnum line. They've sold a lot of crap under that name. That being said, in the last few years, Magnum has not been that bad, personally I think it's because their suppliers have gotten better, not that Boker has demanded finer quality![]()
