This blade looks better in person. I have this knife but with titanium bolsters and amber bone jig handle from a sprint run a few years ago. It came without the pocket clip and is actually kind of heavy. More like carrying a Buck 110 than a Spyderco in terms of pocket weight. I also have the smaller endura in this configuration - plain titanium scales. It's very nice. The damascus is layered around the core steel. That's why it has the pattern stop instead of going all the way to the blade edge. I've already spent my budget for knives I don't really need on the Gavko, so I won't be joining this drop.
