The knife is very nice, but unfortunately it arrives dull from the factory and is not able to cut smoothly through a sheet of paper. On the cutting edge, in two places, there are small burrs that additionally cause tearing when trying to cut a sheet of paper (a basic test of blade sharpness). It requires proper sharpening. Despite this, I give it 5 stars, with the reservation that you need to refine the edge yourself, which means additionally buying some kind of sharpener (another cost).

Njord Branda Damast Hunter Fixed Blade Knife
A fixed blade knife featuring a Hidden Tang design. The blade showcases a Drop-Point shape and is crafted from Damascus steel, noted for its distinct pattern formed by fusing multiple layers of 1095 and 15N20 steel. Enhanced with a pronounced main grind and a subtle secondary bevel, the blade delivers optimal performance. Its contoured rosewood handle, paired with a brass guard, offers both a classic aesthetic and a secure, ergonomic grip.
1095+15N20 damascus steel, high grind
Equipped with a durable Drop-Point profile blade, the knife is crafted from Damascus steel, which utilizes multiple layers of high-carbon spring steel 1095 and carbon steel 15N20. Renowned for its resistance to abrasion and chipping as well as straightforward sharpening, this steel ensures longevity and performance. Featuring a high grind and a lower secondary bevel, the blade delivers seamless cutting along with optimal edge retention. Strategically positioned notches on the spine provide thumb stabilization (jimping) for enhanced control, particularly in wet conditions.
Hidden Tang handle in wood and brass
Featuring a Hidden Tang handle crafted from rosewood and fitted with a brass guard, this construction ensures your hand stays secure and prevents slipping onto the blade. Protection against moisture is enhanced by a blend of beeswax and linseed oil applied to the entire piece.
Leather sheath with belt loop
Durable brown leather sheath featuring reinforced double stitching ensures the knife is securely transported and can be conveniently attached to your belt.
