Hey, that's great!

If you want to further sharpen it, you can with any conventional sharpening method, ie wetstone.

Just make sure you know what you're doing first (what angle to apply to the blade, etc). YouTube is a great place for all the help you will need.

allright, thanks... also for the knife Wink

You're welcome.

Also, damascus edges have a unique purpose. Due to the hundreds of layers of steel, there are micro-serrations in the blade edge which will serve to cut through things like meat very well. You may want to give it a try before sharpening it which might not be necessary.

I tried only with tomatoes up until now and am satisfied.

Will try on fish next time I catch one Wink

Cool, thanks. Feel free to spread the word/link to my site

I had been looking around for a decent damascus - not looking hard, just keeping hears open.
I decided to give this one a chance, since colin accepts BTC, even though is is "only" 200 layers, and I'm very pleased with the knife.

Also, shipping was perfect, very well wrapped, and taged as "gift" and "Camping/Fishing tools" to slip through customs attention.
And it took less than 2 weeks to ship from Clearwater, FL to France.

Thanks, Kouye. It's good to have the feedback for those who haven't yet been as brave

Really glad you like it

That truly was some fast shipping

I guess being able to pay with coins made it easier Wink

That is my whole motto. Selling knives for bitcoin only! A unique thing to do with ones BTC

as a foreign english speaker I must ask: is it "knife" or "knive"? confused.

another question: what's the expected delivery time to europe? Do you have any previous shipping experience?

I wonder what you send it as... really appreaciate the low cost of around $10 (I guess, right?). I'm wondering this because many people in the US seem to have problems to get shipping cost of anything below $30. Those unbelievable efficient asians (do they happen to run a functioning free market economy?) ship a product for €0.3 from HongKong to Europe... to my mailbox! I don't know how the f.ck this is possible, but they do.

I'm shipping stuff (casascius coins worldwide, for example) myself so I'm interested in this kind of information.

Hi, as elitenoob said, "knife" is singular for 1 knife. and "knives" is plural for many knives.

Yes, my low shipping cost is a benefit I am giving to Bitcoin users. It does cost me more than that to ship it. It costs more like $16-$18 USD to ship one knife internationally. I just take some out of my profit to help international buyers.

I have a lot of experience shipping knives to hundreds of countries around the world. I have been selling knives for over 3 years and we ship to countries such as: Australia, Canada, Germany, Britain, etc.

I mark the international packages as "camping/fishing tools" to prevent suspicions at Customs.

Haha, yes, they are! These are not play toys

You should feel one in your hand. They weigh a lot. Very solid.

I received my knife and I love it!

Pretty heavy.

The edge feels a bit rough from one side (it's quite sharp, though).

Do you have any suggestions about grinding (correct word?) it? I'm a noob with knives... couldn't even spell the word 2 weeks ago Wink

English isn't my mother tongue aswell but if i remember correctly is "knife" a single one and "knives" 2 or more.

Got my pocket knife (a different one than the ones mentioned above) about a week ago and it took just 11 days to germany.

Well the costs were 5$ for shipping without insurance for me.

The pattern is awesome, I've never seen it before. Good luck with selling!

Thanks. The pattern is a swirl damascus. Over 200 layers of high carbon steel, which gives the metal that awesome look.

Quote from: molecular on July 15, 2013, 04:06:09 AM

awesome, I ordered.

Quote from: Wangdu1030 on July 14, 2013, 12:59:14 PM

Well Done! I bought model 1 and 3. Thanks

Awesome. Both your orders (molecular's and Wangdu's) are being shipped out as I speak.

yay!

really looking forward to it. I've been looking for a knife for quite some time but couldn't get myself to buy one. I kinda looked at #2 and thought: this is the one... don't know why. I had been scanning ebay for knifes... I guess being able to pay with coins made it easier Wink
