wweklundWell no one knows how to make actual Damascus steel, this is just layered steel. Also your pattern may vary.

wweklundMine is marked "67 Layers". So 33 per side, and the core. It is definitely a light duty knife, but that's not really a bad thing. Just more of a "Gentleman's" carry. The blade stock is pretty thin, and hollow ground. So very thin behind the edge and able to get screaming sharp. My only gripe is the clip is tip-down only, and I'm a tip-up kind of guy.
I'm not 100% sure, but it appears the first two pics in the details are incorrect, and actually of the Gent 2 model. Smaller blade, and different dammy pattern. Mine looks like the last pic. I'll try to find a pic of mine.

BflyingI am not a fan of this pattern and would like to see a photo of an example of the actual knife we will receive.

weklundIt looks like Boker is now showing both patterns for the Gent 1 on their website. Maybe they changed. I really like the more random pattern, but don't mind the one I have. Still looks pretty good in person. But would be nice to know what we are buying in this drop.

wweklundIs your Gent 1 from this drop, or from a previous purchase elsewhere? Would love to see any pattern variations that show up through this drop. Although I still consider mine to be for super light duty only, it's still fun to carry on random occasions. Looks great, and I just figured that the price was right to add some Damascus to the collection. Now I know I really like Damascus, so many more are added to my knife hit list.

BflyingI purchased this beauty recently off Amazon. Super nice light duty knife with a very sharp edge. The blade is georgeous. I love the Ebony hardwood scales. I highly recommend this blade .
