Damascus Frontier - Custom Handmade Damascus Forged Bushcraft Knife with Pakkawood Handle by Almazan Knives®

This is a great knife at the price point. I have knives far more expensive than this, but this will be the best knife most people have in their kitchen. It is balanced well, sharp out of the box, and it has a full tang leading to a nice weight. I have not sharpened it yet, so more to follow there, I will update my review at that point. Until then, I highly recommend this knife.

I have been "building" up my knife set instead of using my set and really love the quality of this knife. It is very high quality and the edge holds up very well. I use the honing steel on the knife before every use and after about 10 uses it is as sharp as the day I opened it. The wood handle looks very nice. I love the feeling of a high end knife when cooking, gives you a nice feeling using high quality items.

I m completely impressed by this knife. I wasn t sure what to expect because of the modest price but was pleasantly surprised. The knife feels great in the hand and has very good balance. Very good quality and razor sharp right out of the box. I use it as a chef s knife so I m not hacking bones with it but it slices beautifully and easily. I can t speak to how it holds an edge or resharpens because I haven t had to touch it up yet. I don t think it ll be a problem. I do recommend this chef s knife.

I was shocked at how nice this chef s knife is based on it s cost. It is perfectly balanced, the handle is made of a luxurious and finely finished wood that is beautiful and it cuts like a champ. I have owned much more expensive knives that were not as balanced in the hand, not as well finished and didn t come with a beautiful handle. I would recommend this to anyone on a budget who appreciates quality. Beats the low end JA Henckels and Whustoffs by a mile. I don t know how they produce such a nice piece for so little money. I have happily added it to my collection of daily use kitchen cutlery. Thanks Imarku for the great design, balance and quality of this knife!

Wow. First of all, the presentation alone makes this knife look 3x more expensive than it really is. It showed up in a sleek black box with a vibrant red moulding inside. I was very impressed when I saw this as I ve ordered knives online before and they just show up in a plastic case. So the knife itself is beautiful. It has a handsome wood handle and is super lightweight. Right out of the box, I began prepping dinner for that night. The way it sliced through chicken was impressive with no effort on my part whatsoever. It s very comfortable to hold and easy to clean. It s a handsome knife that can cut effortlessly, sold by a company that cares about the way they present their product. They delivered a high quality knife for a very good price. I m very impressed and plan on purchasing another one as a gift.

I was looking for a chef knife to deal with different kinds of meat. Then I got this knife,which make me very satisfied . It can easy removing the flesh from bones, cutting and chopping. Besides, it is good ergonomic and user friendly item. When I use it , I didn’t feel painful on my hand and arm even after long use.

This knife is great. It looks beautiful and I can 100% confirm is hella sharp. I was able to test this theory in less than 10 minutes by almost slicing half of my finger off while cutting an onion. This knife went through the layers of that onion as fast as college withered my soul back in 2012. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who has any basic skill with knives; BUT if you re the kind of person whose mother preferred to clean the chinaware all by herself before letting you hold one of her plates, you may be MY kind of person and you should get one of those gloves that protect fingers and stuff before using this obviously quality made blade.

Beautiful knives that are nice and sharp. I especially like this set as it includes the chef knife for slicing and dicing vegetables. I was tempted to pay three times this amount for one knife from a well known brand but so glad I found these. They are sharp and easy to hold with a comfortable grip. They are also very attractive.

Excellent gift! I bought this for a gift for Christmas. The recipient absolutely loved it. It was opened prior to dinner and was used immediately. Great gift for someone who likes to cook!

Do I recommend this product? Overall, this knife makes me look like a chef. I don’t have much use for the leather case ( not sure if it’s real) unless I’m going to be carrying around with me wherever I go ( pretty sure can’t do that). It’s crazy sharp, I sliced and diced some carrots and onions like a pro. Do I recommend this product? No. I Highly recommend this product.

Beauty and Function:This knife is beautifully crafted. I love the look of the rings. Of course, function is more important than looks...and it gets five stars in that department too! I did just get it today, but I couldn t wait to use it, so I gave it a pretty good workout. I couldn t be happier! It feels great in my hands and it chops and slices wonderfully.I highly recommend this chef knife to all knife lovers.

Awesome knife:Very sharp and stable. Excellent qualityThis knife is absolutely incredible. The quality, workmanship and durability. It is so sharp it’s like a razor blade. It’s now our new favorite knife. By far the sharpest knife in our kitchen. Great price for the workmanship and quality of this final product. A great gift! Awesome knife. I can cut all my vegetables without a problem and meat can be cut into thin slices without difficulty. Would recommend this item.

Top quality knife :THE BEST chief knife I have ever used. The shape of the blade on this one makes cutting up vegetables an easy job. It s very sharp too. The handle is comfortable in the hand and the whole knife is perfectly balanced. The range of knives made by Global is extensive. I have just this one and a smaller flat-bladed one and I wouldn t consider buying any other knife now I have had these two in my kitchen.Nice and beautiful knife! You can tell from the packaging. I haven’t tried how shape it is but it’s heavy enough. I will pass this to my daddy who is like cooking. Hope he likes it!

Really nice knife : This is the chef knife that I ordered. Being a professionally trained chef, I am finicky about my knives. For this price point, I don’t think you are going to find a more well-balanced and accurate piece of cutlery. Keeps and edge very well, and I really do love it, and am loving this overall! Blade is as sharp as sharp can be. Balance is outstanding. Handle is beauteous. If only it came with the same quality sheath. However, I was able to find something suitable.Love this knife so much that I bought another for my son.

Sharp and stylish knife This knife came in very beautiful packaging along with a leather sleeve to keep it safe while you are not using it. The knife is really of great quality and the sleeve looks very expensive too. I purchased this knife primarily to use for cutting thicker pieces of meat and it really makes life easier. It has this sharpness and enough weight to slide through the peace of very thick meat without putting much effort into it. It has a great design that makes it comfortable to use and also adds a little style to my kitchen, I like everything about it so I think it s worth it!

Very nice knife! I received this knife today and after using it to prepare dinner- I am very impressed with it. It has a very sharp edge, an attractive handle, and is perfectly balanced. It also comes in a nice case.

Solid, beautiful knife I love this knife. It a really solid knife with a good amount of weight to it. It feels great in the hand and glides easily when cutting bread. It s a beautiful knife on top of all that and looks great on our magnetic knife strip. Really easy to slice bread and cuts through a fresh baked loaf like butter. Very easy to clean. Definitely recommend.

Excellent Product Though a little too big for having children around. If you tender your meat a lot, then this is a must have. Firm and sharp, I could not have envisioned anything sharper. just wow.

The handle is non-slip and feels good. The cutting edge of the cut ingredients is very flat. The appearance is also very good, and it looks very high-end. The knife is very suitable for holding, the size is not limited, the handle is non-slip, and the hand feels good.

Great kitchen knife This knife is a really good quality. It is large so you can cut just about anything with it. It is nice and sharp so it is very easy to use. I believe this knife would also work really well with the imarku knife sharpener. It comes in really nice packaging as well. It make you feel like it came from a luxury retailer. It is also an extremely good quality.

Sharp (ouch) We really like this bread knife, it slices through bread like a serrated knife through cooked dough products. Seriously though it’s pretty sharp and the wife and I have both cut ourselves while slicing bagels (because we hold the bagels like idiots). Put the bagel down Karen and use a cutting board because just one touch cuts your finger open. Oh and the handle fits in well with our other black handles knives.

Great Knife for the $$$ Very happy with this purchase. The knife is light weight, very sharp out-of-the-box and easy to handle. For the price the quality is outstanding. It is also well balanced. I sometimes have trouble with some knives because I have tendinitis in my wrist. This knife doesn’t hurt my wrist and I’m able to use it for extended periods of time without pain or fatigue.

Heavy Duty wanted a butcher knife similar to what she uses, this knife met that criteria. When it arrived the first thing I noticed is that it s heavy, it s definitely sharp, and the price was right. The leather holder for it smelled kind of funny so I put it outside for a couple of days and now it s fine. No complaints at all.

High Quaility chef knife : I am respectful of it s sharp edge and handle it carefully. It is heavy so be careful not to drop it. This is an old and respected brand and I can say that I am very pleased with it. It is my first very high quality knife and it really does make a difference in ease of cutting whether it s large mellon type fruit, pineapples, chopping nuts or slicing vegetables and cutting raw or cooked meats. I would choose it again as my lone high quality knife.

Absolutely perfect chef knife :I bough this knife as a gift. It is very good quality. If you keep it sharpened it will cut through any thing with ease. I own several Global Chef s knives and I recommend them to everyone. This chef knife is perfect for cutting tomatoes and vegetablesReally good knife for the price. It s sharp, easy to clean and comes in a nice case that you can store it in..The feel and balance of the knife is excellent, and the sharpness is so good. Would definitely recommend and will be buying more.

Best gift! Highly recommended :Great Knife, good value for your money, I was looking for a knife like this.If you have someone in your life who likes to cook then this is the gift for them! It is very affordable compared to other knives and it is SHARP! I bought this as a gift and they loved it. I used it to cook at their home and I love it so much that I ll eventually purchase one for myself.

longlasting sharpness:I am a culinary professional and I can honestly say this is one of the best knives you can get for the money. I ve had mine for about 6 years now and is still my go-to workhorse knife in the kitchen. Handle is incredibly comfortable very easy to maintain a sharp edge when cared for properly. It is by no means the top of the line but that said it certainly performs like it. 10 out of 10 would recommend for anyone from beginners to season chef.Nice kitchen knife. The steel is very hard so it keeps a razor edge for a long time.

Stars Good balance knife:I love this knife. This knife is really well balanced, the blade is high quality and it s surprisingly lightweight.Super sharp Knife?The price is great when it is on sale. It is so easy used to cut meat, chop small pieces of vegetables and so on. I plan to buy the second one already. And the package looks professional and fancy. I am thinking to have one as a gift to my family! My hubby asked for a new knife for Christmas. We just used it for the first time and it’s awesome!!!!!!!! I definitely recommend it.

Well worth price with well Performing blade: What a Beautiful knife!! For the price it’s well worth it the knife is just as good as any of the ones that really high priced. This knife is beautiful sharp feels good in your hand!Nakiri .Im in LOVE and I am even shocked that they’re selling it for so cheap. You usually pay for what you get but in this case I feel like this knife is just as good as these any high priced knives that they’re trying to sell.

Long lasting blade and great sharpness:Bought this a gift for a friend. Heard from her brother that it carved the turkey quite nicely over Thanksgiving and see was looking forward to using it on the Christmas ham. She loves it and that s really all that matters to me. But as knife guy myself the overall look and feel of the blade and most importantly the balance all impressed me. The leather sheath was well made as well. I hope she enjoys it for may years to come and I m sure she will. I would recommend it if you need something long lasting and something that can cut with ease.

Sharp And Careful To Use :We received this very handy and well-positioned chef knife, which will have no effect on our review. The very well processed knife of good impression visually, when you first grasp, you are consciously balanced and well the knife literally puts itself in your hand. The processed blade special steel as well as the pakkawood are very well processed and have no defects or production residues.Really sharp. I would not advise for your day to day cook. You need some experience in handling cutlery to properly handle this cleaver. I really like. I cut my finger just getting it out of the box but that was my fault (I survived). I also would recommend that the non-cutting edges be rounded or protected from accidental cuts. Also, be careful when cleaning as the blade is extremely sharp!

Impressive value for a quality knifeI purchased this for my man who is a chef. As some of you may know, chefs are very particular about their knives, and even though he wasn t looking for the best knife out there, it had to fit a number of must-haves . it had to have a wood handle, it had to be made of Good Steel, and it had to be simple in perfect design. I m happy to say that the chef knife exceeded his expectations! The packaging was really well done and extra consideration was made to keep the blade safe and secure. A handy wipe cloth was also provided in the box, though I am told chefs don t really use it. General comments from the chef is that the knife itself is well balanced and well-made, the blade is extremely sharp and has held its edge over the past month while being used daily, and the handle is surprisingly really comfortable. The knife handle was completely smooth.i recommend it

Very durable with nice box : This chef knife is awesome. The case and the ascetic appeal of it are off the charts. It was so nice I am planning to keep the box around afterward to store it. The knife is fairly sharp. It also comes with instructions on how to maintain it so it s nice for novices. All and all, a good knife for a beginner chef on a budget .I like the box that the knife comes in. I store the knife back in the box after I clean and dry it. I use it mainly for cutting fruits and veggies. Occasionally I may use it to cut chicken or turkey. It s super strong and durable. It s also pretty heavy and made of some tough material. Really awesome chefs knife!!These are well made and looks like this will last long. Definitely recommend .

It s easy to cut meat. Very suitable for family use. This knife is very beautiful, with a smooth and bright surface and good grip. The balance is very good and it is very comfortable to hold. This is the best kitchen knife I have ever used. It s easy to cut meat. Very suitable for family use.

Pay attention to your hands when cutting! Pay attention to your hands when cutting! The handle design is very user-friendly and very comfortable! The overall design is great! There is no rust after being exposed to water, so it is very powerful to hold!

Very sharp and durable I used to have a knife that was not easy to use. I listened to a friend s recommendation and bought it. This knife is very durable. It cuts fruit, meat and vegetables. It s very powerful. It has a beautiful appearance and can cut anything. It s super handy. I ll buy it for my grandmother next time.

Love it This knife is amazing I work in a kitchen everyone’s giving me compliments on how beautiful it is.. it’s light weight super sharp it’s absolutely amazing..

Gorgeous and useful I love this knife. It s extremely sharp and easy to handle. I was a little nervous about the length since it is a very large knife, but it s great for everyday use and hard to cut items. Oh and did I mention that it s pretty!?

NEW KNIFE When I saw this knife, I really had to have it. Though I like it, it doesn t have the weight that I like in larger knives. I feel it is really well made, but I would like it heavier.

Fantastic! This was a gift for my husband who loves to cook and is left handed. He absolutely loves this knife!! He can easily use it with his left and right hands, which makes him happy. It’s very sharp and cuts through things easily

Nice weight, Shipped and arrived SUPER fast I have been looking for a knife like this for a long time, and was only finding the carbon steel ones that rust without special care. I am not a special care person beyond hand washing when it comes to my knives. I have not used it yet, but looking forward to using it. Weight using the handle feels great, like a cleaver. Weight using a finger thumb grip where the handle meets the blade feels equally as good for chopping, and even some delicate work.

Chef knife I really like this knife. I figure I would buy a cheap one and use it as a work horse and not need to worry to much about it. This knife came super sharp out of the box, mental feels very strong. Handle is very well designed well balance. This is sturdy enough where I don’t have to worry about it. This knife will go in my knife bag whenever I go out to cook. Chef knife is also long which I like in my chef knife which makes it versatile In the kitchen. Wonderful knife and good to have.

The knife is wonderful ! It s a great chopping knife and it s still as sharp as it was when it came in and I don t have any problems with it either so thank you again !

Great item for the money. Bought this knife for my son who loves to cook. He says it is the best knife he s ever owned. Similar knives sell for over a hundred dollars.

Worth it This is a really nice knife! Really good quality. When washing it I was reading reviews about rust and it’s not a problem as long as you wash it by hand and not a dish washer and actually dry it off. Also this knife was ridiculously sharp. 10/10 would recommend extremely good for the price

So far so sharp This knife is great, it came super sharp and it is nice and heavy. It seems to keep the an edge pretty good edge. Great knife! My new go to in the kitchen even though I got if for camping. Sturdy, sharp and easy to use.

knife that comes with a sheath! I ve bought two of these. They are razor sharp and my favorite knife to use in the kitchen. Cool to look at as well. Great purchase.

SUPER sharp & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HIGHLY RECOMMEND for culinary enthusiasts. Bought this on a lightning deal and I am VERY happy with it. You will not be disappointed!

Best chef knife! Such a refreshing knife to use ... Have had several other "top notch expensive sets", this one knife is way better. Beautiful and stays sharp.

Very Heavy Duty Knife! This is a very heavy-duty knife! The blade has a good depth and thickness. The length is very nice, and allows me to cut odd shaped loaves, such as a round loaf of sourdough bread. The serrated blade cuts well. The grip is large enough to fit well into a large hand such as mine and feels solid. It is not one of those cheaply-made hollow handle knives. Overall, a very well made product, in my opinion.

like it. This is a multi-purpose knife that I use to cut,dice and slice vegetables,fruits,fish,meat and other products smoothly.It also removes meat from bones and mashes garlic.

It is very convenient to use It feels very comfortable, I tried it and it was sharp. It is very convenient to use, whether it is cutting meat, vegetables or other things, it is very light.

Perfect size, easy to operate It is convenient to use, small and light in weight. It can be held well. It is very sharp and smooth to cut. It has no resistance. It will not feel pain or fatigue in the wrist for a long time. I am very satisfied with the good use of this knife.

Very practical The product has been received. The package is exquisite, no damage, and the quality is very good. The material is stainless steel. It is very bright. The cut fruit is very sharp and easy to clean. It is very practical

Feel good The quality is very good, the packing box is very exquisite, the material is stainless steel, very strong, durable. The blade is sharp. It s easy to cut fruit. The handle feels good and is easy to use. Very good cleaning, good effect

100% a good deal I had seen a knife like this on a bushcraft cooking show and wanted one right away. Ordered this one and love it. Sharp and solid build perfect for the kitchen or camping.

Great find I have been looking for a cleaver for a while now and I came across this one. I figured for the price I would give it a try, It is an amazing knife perfectly balanced perfectly sharpened perfectly made. The weight is perfect Let the knife do the cutting for you. I highly recommend this knife

Awesome knife I love this knife, this is my go to knife when I cook. It has a great feel in my hand and is a super sharp knife. It is a large knife and can be intimidating, but once you start using it you can t put it down.

Very sharp , be careful , great knife Out of the box this knife was really sharp and has some weight to it. You only have to use a little pressure and it cuts through. I ve used this to dice veges , garlic and ribs . This is my go to knife . I sometimes chop stuff like this tomatoes just because it feels good , lol, don t judge .

Fantastic for the price Fantastic knife! Good weight. Nice handling. Very sharp and keeps a good edge so far. I have not honed or sharpened it yet. I keep a brush with oil on hand to lightly brush it with oil to keep it from rusting. Sure to last as far as I can see. It s leather sheath is very durable. The only small problem with the sheath is that the knife catches a bit on the snap that it has when drawing it.

Very Strong and Very Well Made - Great Leather Holder! Very well made. Full tang forged knife. Wonderful to use very easy little effort required as the knife does the chopping easily for you. Great to take camping also. Presents very impressive with the leather storing sheath. A must buy for knife lovers you will not be disappointed.

Seriously a GREAT Knife! I have used it extensively on slightly still frozen meats that again to my amazement slices right through them. I can then marinate the meat pieces while still slightly frozen. When cutting veggies and fruit the super breadth of the knife makes for ease of scooping and transferring either to your bowl or into the wok, pan or whatever you are using. Incredible value! Its also a "handsome" knife and seriously performs better than advertised!

Best and sharp knife Just got this and went on a chopping spree this blade is super sharp it is heavy and makes useing it a dream, I peeled a hand of ginger and the sharpness allowed me to remove just the skin ot looks big but that is what you want when chopping or slicing and you can slice thin with this blade if all of their knives are this good I may be buying the rest of the knives in this line

Best knife ever I have! Overall pretty damn good knife originally I got this for camping and hunting knife, and perfect for it. It easily glides through what you are cutting. The handle is easy to hold, the blade is made very well. It replaces most of my knives I own. This knife is SHARP!!

The feel in your hand !! The best knife I ever used !!! I have been hooked on this knife I cut every thing with it, I even peel potato with it, and because of its weight no pressure is needed when cutting the vegetables , it just slides into the veggies and the feeling is good , only a pro chef or enthusiast cook will understand the experience of using this knife , the built is solid , so is the handle and the sheath which comes with the knife is awesome added bonus with purchase , if you’re a knife lover buy it now, won’t regret it.

This knife is excellent This knife is sharp, solid, and balance. You can feel the quality of the steel is very good right out of the box. It has a good weight that makes you feel comfy when you are using it. The handle has an easy grip and I love the overall design of the knife. I bought few knives before but this is one of the most satisfying purchases that I have made here.

Great everday knife for kitchen I ve used this knife on multiple items so far. It cut raw chicken & meats very easily for me. There was no sawing required like some of my other knives. The size is perfect to make it a versatile tool in the kitchen. The knife is hand washed and dried. I have had no issues with this knife and it seems like it will be a sturdy knife for everyday use. So that makes me feel like they are confident in the lifespan of this knife. I am very happy with this knife and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Great addition to the kitchen tool box. This is a great addition for someone looking for a meat trimmer and dicer. I primarily use it to trim the fat off of beef or pork roasts and chicken. Works well because it is super sharp and the heavy blade makes it easy to slice through tough meats. I questioned the finger hole but it helps with control. All-in-all it’s a great knife for the price.

Very sharp , be careful , great knife Out of the box this knife was really sharp and has some weight to it. You only have to use a little pressure and it cuts through. I ve used this to dice veges , garlic and ribs . This is my #1 go to knife . I sometimes chop stuff like this tomatoes just because it feels good , lol, don t judge .

Camping Requirement After making homemade cast iron pizza and chili this weekend, I can truly say, this knife is a must! I m so pumped about the use and quality, I can hardly contain my excitement. I m planning another extended camping trip in a couple more weeks, and frankly, planning meals just so I can USE THIS KNIFE!! If you purchase, I m certain you won t be disappointed!!

Sharp! Just got this and went on a chopping spree this blade is super sharp it is heavy and makes useing it a dream, I peeled a hand of ginger and the sharpness allowed me to remove just the skin ot looks big but that is what you want when chopping or slicing and you can slice thin with this blade if all of their knives are this good I may be buying the rest of the knives in this line.

An amazing blade that can do just about everything. I must say this is a great knife! The full tang and heavy spine give it the cutting power of a full butcher knife. It s heavy but balanced which plays well when you need intricate cuts. The curve of the spine to the point gives it the finesse of a chef s knife. In no way does this knife replace every knife in the kitchen but the amazing leather and sheath mean you can take this and only this in the backcountry and do everything from dress an animal to cut veggies to cook with it. I love this knife.

Superior knife, quality far beyond its price. This thing is a beast. I am no professional chef, but I am a longtime woodsman and Bushcrafter. I have taken this on a couple of trips, and it has evolved into my go-to knife. I simply love that it can do very well at the butcher block, but yesterday hold up to the random needs I may have in the bush. Why carry two knives? I joke a bit, as each knife has its place, but this one can do the trick for many. Holds a very sharp edge, and is strong beyond my expectations. Seriously great buy...

Wow - What A Knife! I ve never had a chef s knife before and this seems like a very good one. It s well balanced and feels good in the hand. The handle is made of wood and feels very comfortable as you hold it. It comes in a nice presentation box and it has a slip-on guard that covers the entire sharp edge. I assumed the hammered design on the sides was simply for looks, but it also serves to shed the cut food as you cut through thicker things - a nice touch. The blade is made of carbon steel, a preferred material for knives. The proof is in the cutting, of course, and I first tested it by slicing through a sheet of paper as I held it and it made nice clean cuts. Then I progressed to steaks, onions, and cucumbers. It made quick work of them. The blade is very sharp and the weight works for chopping as well as slicing. I ll be using this one frequently for a long time.

Knife is well made, looks nice and accurate. It is easy to maintain and holds sharpening pretty well. I’ve Zwilling Professional S knifes and it is very competitive for a fraction of a price. As far as utility knife goes, Zwilling has a wider blade. But it is really the almost only way that I can differentiate them. The design, quality, feeling are interchangeable. They hold age about the same time. It is possible that Zwilling is a little harder, at least I’ve to put more pressure honing.

The quality is very good. The appearance is good. It looks strong and sharp. There is no problem in cutting the fruit. The handle is very good. Handle length is suitable, blade material is very good, feel very comfortable. Wanna say thanks to Almazan Knives and would recommend to all buy from them.

The chef s knife is heavy-duty but not too heavy to use comfortably. I was surprised by how sharp it is I used it to slice a pork loin I grilled and it was a breeze. I love it so far and would recommend to anyone needing something beautiful to work with, to try Almazan Knives products.

The best knife I have bought so far. Sliced through soft bread-like melted butter, didn’t even smash the bread. Perfect slicing very sharp!!! The meat was so easy to chop up! I purchased it from Almazan Knives

Very sharp! More heavy duty than needed for general cutting and chopping for cooking stir frys, frittatas, and such but the wide blade makes it easy to scoop up what you just cut up. I got my dream knife at Almazan Knives and was very glad to work with it and satisfied with my purchase from Almazan Knives.

The knife itself is amazing and works great. It is sharp and cuts through food as well as I had hoped it would. The edge is sharp and it cuts everything that I ve used it on well. Thanks to Almazan knives for the great services and quality
