Urban Trapper Cocobolo Damascus

Mesmerizing to look at.

Unboxing experience was exceptional and gave the feeling that I was about to reveal something truly special. I was not let down. After unwrapping the knife from it's final wax paper packaging, after removing it from the sleek box and sturdy zipper satchel, I could smell the aroma of the oil used to preserve the wood. What I held in my hand left me speechless. The knife felt almost weightless in my hand I immediately flicked it open with a slight flick of the wrist. The layers of damascus revealed a beautiful pattern even better than the pictures, looking like drops of water I used to draw with a pencil and paper as a child; when turned upside down they looked like gravestones, which gave me goosebumps since Halloween is right around the corner and my favorite holiday. I was a bit worried from watching reviews about the locking mechanism being loose and being able to squeeze the frame leading to accidental blade release. The issue was not present with my knife, it seems they have taken special care to correct those problems in early versions. The blade locked firmly, even more so if I flicked it open more aggressively. They seemed to have maybe over corrected this problem because there is a slight amount of lock stick which is getting better as I break it in. This doesn't bother me and in fact it is welcoming and gives me confidence the blade will not collapse. I can't speak highly enough about this knife and I am surprised they are selling it at such a bargain. It is truly elegant and I just can't stop flicking it open to look at it.
