Pakistani Damascus knife is impressive!!

[DeadboxHero]

To OP,
Sometimes, you just need to call a spade a spade. The steel performance is not very good on all those cheap Pakistan knives.
Whatever floats your boat. I'd rather invest $60 into something more worth while. Not saying the OP is in the majority, but the majority of knife folks don't understand why quality costs more and how that factors into performance, nor do they care. A knife is a knife, I know because I was one of those folks at one time. So while that knife makes you happy, some of us favor other factors then just looks and cheap price so don't feel offended, Thanks for sharing.

Wow, those Pakistani knives sure seem to have a well earned, horrible reputation, even if the original poster apparently managed to find an exception to that rule.

Damnit, I broke the thread!

Back on page 3 I wondered when the hate fest would begin. It didn't take long. Hang in there OP you have a very nice knife and I doubt you are alone though probably in the minority for a while yet.

I would like to see pix detailing the handle work

Wow. What's your definition of "hate"?

Wow. What's your definition of "hate"?

Considering it`s not W&C, maybe a little

Knife's probably radioactive or some junk.

Personally, I don't see a low opinion of poor quality to be hatred.

Apparently the truth

This kind of post is not helpful when discussing the facts of the Pakistani knives. Yes they are largely low quality, no, saying they are made of poop isn't accurate nor conducive to a civil discussion.

If you want a knife to impress filthy casuals then pakistan made knives are for you.

What the heck is a "filthy casual"?
I don't want to have to learn any more words to judge people with..."sheeple" was bad enough.

Same word as sheeple. Get with the times. I wonder what term will be coined up next year.

Think I'll just go with "human."
More efficient; less time wasted trying to categorize.

It`s all in the manner of saying it. You can like or dislike "Politely" Saying things like

Or

Knife's probably radioactive or some junk.

Now that`s What Katanas was talking about.

Not needed it this thread.

Speaking of your experience is OK, giving advice against something is OK too, but imo despising attitude toward a member or a product that we cannot handle or test ourselves is just going too far off.

V Viper2 , if you are still hanging there, I would love to see closeup pix of the handle

Quenched in a vat of urine

This have been extensively used with great success

 

[danbot]

Since the OP seems to have just posted and ran...it's looking like the real purpose of this thread is trollish baiting.

Have you seen and used the OP’s knife, Dan?

 

[danbot]

Have you seen and used the OP’s knife, Dan?

Nope.
I'm only going by my own experience and not judging the OP's knife. I'm certainly not hating on it. The nice filework is definitely a good sign that care was taken in its making.
