Why is there no paper work in the box with the knife... to explain the care of damascus blade &amp; how it is made &amp; where it is made.

The Internet has good information on the history and making Of Damascus steel. A ceramic rod is the tool to sharpen these knives. Do not store knife in sheath for long periods of time and use wd-40 or mineral oil on blade to protect from rust. Brass cleaner for any brass and wood wax for the handle.

From what I have learned, the art of true Damascus steel was lost. The full tang is polished, but still has the same grain the blade.

The blade is not stamped with the country of orgin and I no longer have the packaging. But in my opinion I do not think it is a US made knife.

I purchased 10 of them and as far as I can tell all real. Imported from another country? I am on the Leatherman facebook and the discussions there indicate no Leatherman knife is imported, the rep on FB stated all knives are made and assembled in OR, USA. They were sent to me from A USA company. I hope this is helpful.

Alas, I did not keep the packaging, but I do recall that there was Japanese printing .... I thought of it as adding to then authenticity when I opened the package. If you know how to use a sharpening stone, then you will not be disappointed in this sharpener. It is the best!

there are some Japanese characters near the hilt, as well as a design in the steel that goes through the whole blade. its a dark to light pattern thats wavy, the typical Damascus style.

Are you the seller because I just received my knife today and the box was kind of open and the sheath wasn't in the box how can you help me thanks

It is somewhat prone to rust due to the high carbon content of the steel, It's not true Wootz-Damascus steel (a form of steel that is a lost art), but it is indeed some of the best quality damascus I've seen that was made in modern times. The other answers are incorrect, the reason Kyle's blacksmith said it wasn't real "damascus", is probably a reference to wootz steel.i

Mine did. I always reccomend seeing the knife in person at a brick and mortar in person. Short of that, go to youtube and search the knife you are interested in. I've yet to not be able to find a review on any knife i am interested in purchasing on youtube. Be informed and happy cutting.

yes I had that concern also. I order it and it came without the serrated blade. maybe a mistake in editing commander krammer

When i got mine, it came in what appeared to be an official cold steel packaging. I bought it online because i saw this same exact knife at a store here in Hawaii for almost 15 bucks more with the same packaging. I still have this knife too. My only complaint is that it gets dull fast but i have a one of those diamond sharpeners so it sharpens back up very nicely.

my guess is that it is a self cleaning mechanism. so there is no paper left between the cutting blades. my last shredded did that a lot.

Ya it's plainly marked on the blade made in China. Very disappointing. This was nowhere in the description.

IMO, if any parts are missing on delivery, your knife is defective. I suggest that you call the seller and see if you can return it for exchange it or refund or call S & W and see what they might do for you as their products have a great reputation and I doubt they want unhappy customers. Good luck.

It doesn't say in the blade, but there is a "Product of China" marking in the box.
