Great Knives for a great price!
As a hobby woodworker, I regularly make cutting boards as gifts, and often times pair them with a custom knife. I've used a number of brands over the years but I've recently started replacing my own daily use kitchen knives from other brands with these since I love the way they sharpen up easily and how they take and hold an edge.The kits come well packaged and after 10+ purchases, I have never had an issue with any of their knives. On this particular build I was making a new knife for myself for slicing roasts and steaks, and I ended up using two of their mosaic pins instead of the three pin design that is in the packaging. I had an extra pin left over from another knife where I went with a different handle design.Quality product and I definitely will be buying more blanks from Katsura.

Sharp, good looking Damascus steel blade
Made a knife for my son to use in his chef duties at the restaurant he manages. This knife came in sharp, had all the pieces to make a great handle and I chose some gorgeous Cocobolo with some sapwood for this. He loved it and now my wife wants one so I guess I'll be buying another one.

Damascus
THIS IS NOT DAMASCUSITS A VERY WELL MADE BLADE AND IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY,,,,BUT it is not Damascus. It has what appears to be some sort of an etch into the blade which gives it a Damascus look. OVERALL YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY LIKE IT, BUT A KNIFE MAKER WOULD SEE ITS NOT DAMASCUS IMMEDIATELY
