So this is damast knife, which I purchased about 2 months ago. It's beautiful knife, and I must say, that also very quality. But more about that later.
The lenght of the blade is 140 millimeters, which gives a really long sharp edge at cutting. The thickness od the blade itself is just a little bit more that 4 millimeters(4.2, if we're precise). The whole knife is long somewhere between 250 and 260 millimeters.
The handle thickness is between 16 and 20 millimeters, depends on which spot. This gives the knife an excellent grip, and it fits in fist really great. Lenth of the handle is about 120 millimeters.
It's attached to the blade by 2 stainless steel bolts and on end of the handle is also a brass pipe through the wooden plates and blade, on which I added a strap of black leather, just to secure it around the wrist, while using it.
It came with a very beautiful and quality leather sheat, which hasn't a protection to "fall out", but it's quite deeper..so the knife doesn't fall out easy either. On back side of the sheat, there is a strap, that can be attached to the belt, so you can carry it. During the double stiches on side, it also has beautiful stamps of some kind a flowers/sun..which gives additional great look to the sheat.
Ofcourse I also have to admit, that the knife IS sharp as fuck. While I was just trying to shave(with feeling, that nothing will come out of this)...well..I shaved nearly half of my left arm. That much about the sharpness test.
Certanly a purchase, worth of it's money.
