Poshland DG-40 Handmade Damascus Steel Dagger Knife – Solid Rose wood Handle

Beautiful, RAM-DG-40 Damascus double edged dagger, but at a 10" blade, more a short sword. Tight, straight solid. No defects. Solid wood handle. Damascus steel blade, collar and butt cap. Comes well oiled, as typical Damascus steel is combinations of plain carbon steel, not stainless. Wipe the oil off, use it, and after, wipe it down again with gun oil, or any kitchen oil, to keep it from corrosion/rust. Don't store it long term in the leather sheath. Leather has acids that cause corrosion. For an actual fighting dagger, choose a 6" to 7" dagger blade. That's quicker, and won't cut you if you swivel it into another position.

This dagger is extremely well made. Looks great, good quality and balance. Very sharp. Handles very well.

This dagger is quite excellent! The handle is well finished and the pattern on the blade crossguard and pomel are unique and beautiful. Blade came relatively sharp. My one and only issue is that the pommel and crossguard are slightly off center but it's minimal and almost unnoticeable. I included pictures to show this.

Knife collector. My first impression is that this is a great knife especially for $50. No significant visible defects. It's REAL Damascus. Grind lines are pretty straight. Edge lines are a little lope sided towards the tip but nothing drastic. It was clearly made and ground by hand..... which it better. The stacked leather handle is 95% smoothe with a little uneven towards the pommel. No complaints though. Nice peen job being ground smooth. No play. Nice and right. Have not used it yet but it seems like it will be a worker. It is a dagger. Not a tree cutter. For stabbing and slicing it will do a great job. The sheath is better than expected. I usually get worse. Don't feel I need to get a new one. Overall........ I recommend. For $50 your odds are 75% good. Can't make any promises. Maybe I got a really good one 1st time out. Worth the risk. It's Amazon. Just return it if you get a bad one lol

Very nice dagger, arrived faster than expected, beautiful damask, a beautiful blade, very sharp. Leather case of good quality, the only defect, in my opinion, but that is a minimal defect, lies in the engravings of the scabbard, a little off center on mine, the belt loop a little too thin to my taste. But these are only minor problems, I am not disappointed with my purchase, I recommend, beautiful model and economical, the essentials at affordable price. A tip that I will give eventually to the designer of the case, to provide it with a strap for the attachment to the leg, in this way, the dagger would be well maintained and move less at once to the belt. In summary, superb work done on the dagger, a little less on the case, although it is already very good and solid leather. In any case, not disappointed with this dagger, I recommend and I probably resume one in the future. Quality product, 100% conform to the photos

Quality blade. Holds edge well .

Built to look cool but isn't very well put together. Rattaill to pommel doesn't look well peened which means this knife (I got the 8 inch) is likely glued together - which isn't going to last through much. It's a wall hanger. Hard to tell that from photos . I've bought some nice similar blades but this one is weak. Blade flexes easily which seems to indicate a weak blade to rattail interface. Sheath is a nice design but pretty thin. It is a unique design. Just weak. Kinda a Carnie blade. Buy it for looks but not for real use. But really, who uses knives like this? Anyone using this on anything but meat or rope would be pretty foolish. It's obviously a show blade and I guess for that it's ok. It's a big knife, handle and all

I love the look of this knife. The quality is quite acceptable for my use, but it did come covered in thick oil (almost like motor oil) which has proven difficult to clean. The wood handle has been affected by the oil and will likely need to be refinished once it's truly clean of the oil.
