It's done. Order is placed. I'm gonna put my old rule aside to be able to own the Smock.

The way you pose the question makes it difficult if not impossible to answer directly. I will say, if you haven't checked out Damasteel's Damacore DC18N you should. I am not a fan of Damascus style blades because their performance is generally inferior to the best super steels available today, and ...

Now I want a Dodo that looks like an easter egg... thanks alot...

A Dodo, of course! Now this makes sense. Very cool indeed!

To you too, and to the whole world outside!

Nice drawing, your wifey is certainly talented! A bit scary though... The motive, that is.

They saved themselves: "Michael, Thank you for your response. I apologize for the mishap as I am seeing our products team looked into this and it appears we were incorrect and the item is in fact not made of Damasteel and is instead just a Chinese Damascus. I appreciate you notifying us of this issu...

"Michael, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately I would not be able to change the items description as the specifications from the manufacturer do specify the item is damasteel. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you, Seth L. Customer Service Supervisor" KC sta...

It's now also available at KC. Like Paul stated, this is no Damasteel blade. Will be interesting to see if BladeHQ will correct their incorrect item description. I sent them an email and asked them to do it.

Do think someone should advise BHQ to change the knife's description.

I'll do it.

Available at National Knives.

Thanks Paul. I've seen many non Damasteel low price Damascus blades in webshops. This one sure looks pretty good for those. At least the stock pic does.

Can this be real? Damasteel blade knife for $75?

Made in China, I see that. But still, that's nowhere near to any other Damasteel blade knife price I've ever seen elsewhere...

All cut my fingers equally good.

Like I said, in an emergency noone should NOT use their gem knife. Good that you had it, Josh, and good that you did. SGringo, impressive that you used your Advocate clone ( ;) ) under salt water conditions. Very understandable that in your older age ( ;) again) you rather tend to use a spydie of th...

Buy one for me, would'ya?

Enjoy them. And let us know what you think!

... a double edge folding dagger.

Maybe M390 instead of S90V?

I know it's currently available. I also know that the money is not. Been there, done that. A couple of times. It's just not possible right now. I must rely on my luck at a later point in time.

Thanks ferider anyway!

Good point. I carry my knives clipped to the pocket. Yes, the detent is quite weak on the K2. Everything has its pros and cons. I will be careful.

Wow, you really use it to chop wood?! Good for you, and good for the knife. Yes, every knife deserves to be used. But a design pearl such as the Advocate I'd only hard use in case of an emergency, a REAL emergency. In that aspect I'm a bad knife master...

I've glued pieces on to see how a knife would respond. Never actually drilled and tapped anything for a stud, but like Bluetype says, it's possible with the right design and tools/skills. After trying a Yojimbo2 flipper for a few months, I decided the Spyderco hole is actually far more fun to play ...
