It was exactly what it said it wasn't a review and it's exactly what I wanted a small little chubby knife so I got what I paid for and blade on it is very nice the edge on it is good comfort's great for the size I enjoy it

I like it. It is stubby, not much bigger than a box cutter blade. But it works, is sturdy, has a positive lock, and looks nice. Worth the price. i should mention it is a darker colored blade.

It looks cool, crafted nicely but definitely baby gap. This thing is like a really nice letter opener. I wish I had read the description better it does not come with a pocket clip and feels super awkward in the pocket the back of blade jabs me in the leg a lot. So now it just sits in my display case.

Overall, this is a cool looking little knife, the quality of the blade and handle, combined with the cool style make it something I would easily consider buying again. That said there are areas that it could be much better. I bought it for a friend as a gift, and while nothing about the images displayed in the ad are misleading; on a computer screen the texture on the knife and the etching they use for branding, look so similar that they kind of blend together. This is not the case to the naked eye, and something you should keep in mind when buying, the "albatross" brand is prominently displayed on what feels like half of the blade. The problem is in the sheer size and placement of the branding, borders on ridiculous. I just wish they had left the design to speak for it's self. The packaging is similar, but much easier to quickly clean up. The box the knife comes in is fine, and does a decent job of displaying it, but you'll want to open it up, and remove the cheap looking plastic bag, the whole thing is stabbed in to. This is another area that "albatross" could easily improve their products by making a small change. If you want to keep moisture off the blade on the cheap, consider cellophane wrapping the whole box. If you want to make the quality look higher, while doing the same, consider wrapping the knife in oiled wax paper. In conclusion it's a decent knife and makes an okay gift, it's just so close to being the perfect incarnation of what it is, that is almost hurts to see the few key corners cut, giving an otherwise great knife all the hallmarks of a cheap knockoff.

Awesome edc knife with plenty of sharpening to be done. Nice thick blade with a very nice edge which is easy to resharpen.

Unique design. Seems sturdy, folds smoothly and looks great. Gave it as a gift and they loved it. The design is definitely not pocket friendly though and I wish the logo on the blade was smaller.

Got this as a gift for the hubby. He loves it! The look, the feel, and the blade is nice and sharp.

The knife is neat looking, I will say that. I would give 4 stars but im giving 3 because it seems like the knife I received isnt even a new one, it seems like it has already been used which is very dissapointing. There are scuffs in a large area of the wooden grip. There are also multiple scratches on the blade itself, which also goes to show that it isnt even real damascus. The knife itself is neat, as I said. The grip is not as chunky as I thought it would be after looking at pictures which is nice. One thing that concerns me is the safety of this knife. It seems like the liner lock is just barely under the blade when opened. Ive tried pushing down on the back of the blade to test the lock and it doesnt fold, but its still concerning as anything can happen, which may result in a bad cut on your finger. So if you plan on using this knife, avoid pushing on the back of the blade unless you are in a safe position Great looking knife, but for the 40$ price I would at least hope to get a brand new one and not one that has already been used
