PAL 2000 KNIVES Handmade Damascus Steel 13 Inches Bowie Knife - Micarta Handle with Damascus Steel Bolsters 1094

I bought this for cutting meat while cooking and grilling. Very nice weight to it. Very sharp and cuts nice and straight and like butter without any effort. I washed off the protective oils and cleaned it up and coat it in Avocado Oil after each use. Oh! It also looks bad ass when using it in front of people!

Developes rust

Very dirty when i played with it my whole hand was covered in grime and metal shavings. I also noticed some de lamination on some layers but still a very strong knife despite this . After i put about 6 to 8 hours into shining the knife with "mothers mag & aluminum polish it will be amazing. Over all im happy with the knife, I just didn't expect the extra work of shining it. 1# pic is blade cleaned for 20 minutes. 2# picture is part of handle i cleaned and polished for 2 hours.----Update 12/21/24After Cleaning up the knife i put it away for a month or two and the rush started to come back. I would recommend keeping a thick oil on it and store it like the Japaneses store samurai swords. If you dont want the rust to come back quick and keep all your hard work looking nice.

It’s very sharp and nice

You are stealing it for the price , i didn’t care for the sheath so I had my leather man make me a new one would make a great gift

This knife showed up with rust on the handle. I was under the impression it was American made. And it’s height dimensions was off making it a lot heavier than expected

She’s a beaut!

Beautiful wall hanger but not practical. Everyone knows Damascus isn't the strongest. Some glinting on the edge and a small amount of rust on the side of the blade makes this 3 stars.
