Damascus Talon

Well balanced, fit and finish are perfect, razor sharp.. Considering the price, this is the best blade I've ever acquired and I highly recommend it!

Perfect balance of price and quality absolutely amazing find!!

A strong blade with nice handle details. Leather sheath is heavy duty. The handle finish is slick, but the knife is so good I shouldn't complain. The Damascus pattern looks great and the blade came sharp.

Full tang blade is a work of art that is beautifully balanced made with comfort of a great reliable weapon, just wish the Damascus etching went all the way into the handle

I finally received this after it having been out of stock for months. It IS aesthetically pleasing. I would love if the Damascus pattern were visible around the entire length of the tang. It feels very solid and fairly heavy for a blade of this length, but it stands to reason since the spine is an average of 3/16 thick. Might be better if the handle were not so smooth.

A most excellent short sword, very well made, the Damascus steel is beautiful, the handle scales are simple but nice. Comes with a quality leather sheath. I highly recommend this long knife.

The Damascus Talon is a beautiful blade. It arrived functionally sharp with good fit and finish on both the knife and the sheath. The sheath is a tight fit, but still allows a quick draw if needed. The Damascus pattern is gorgeous, with nice contrast between the light and dark layers, and the grip has some welcome detailing in the brass pins and bone inserts.

A couple of minor changes could make this knife even better. The glossy finish on the grip is slippery, especially if it gets wet. I would recommend employing a lanyard in the hole provided if you're going to use this in the rain. The scales are flat, with a very short radius on the edges. More rounded handle scales would improve comfort and avoid potential hot spots from extended use.
