A pleasant surprise, I didn't expect such quality of the knife at this price. It's Chinese-made, but the quality and workmanship are outstanding—many U.S. producers could take it as an example. I recommend shopping at Militaria pl.
Boker Magnum Ebony Rangebuster Damast Folding Knife
Pocket folding knife, inspired by classic utility knives known as Hippekniep, Sodbuster and Mineur. The blade is manually opened using a nail nick, and the blade with a Drop Point profile is made of Damascus steel. Brown handle scales are made of dark ebony, giving the knife an elegant, classic character.
Damascus steel
The knife's blade is made of Damascus steel, obtained through repeated forging and folding of steel layers, which gives the blade a characteristic Damascus pattern and elegant appearance. The blade holds its sharpness well and is highly resistant to dulling during everyday use. Damascus steel also offers good impact resistance and favorable cutting properties, while remaining relatively easy to sharpen.
drop-point blade with Damascus pattern
The blade with a Drop Point profile has a length of 67 mm and a thickness of 1.8 mm. The blade is uncoated, allowing the characteristic Damascus pattern to remain visible. The blade has a smooth cutting edge and is opened using a nail nick.
ebony handle
The handle scales are made of ebony in a brown color. The wood gives the knife an elegant appearance and refers to the classic style of traditional utility knives. The contoured shape of the handle and good balance improve ergonomics and working comfort.
slip joint lock, opened using a nail nick
The knife is equipped with a Slip Joint mechanism, which keeps the blade in an open position but does not lock it rigidly like a classic lock. The blade is manually opened using a nail nick.

I give it 5/5 stars, although the workmanship feels a bit Chinese. There are minor flaws here and there, and a strange sharpening of the knife tip on one side—it looks like the hand slipped during sharpening. However, the price-to-quality ratio is great, and I knew what I was buying.
