This is a CSMC damascus blade boot knife that I bought from Lou in April, at the Bray's Island Exhibition. Geoffrey Gourmet was engraving in the same tent and I prevailed upon him to personalize it for me with some scroll on all four sides of the grip bolsters, and my initials in the inset medallion. I have several hand forged damascus blades by Habersham Forge in Cornelia, GA, and I feel like I got my money's worth on this knife.
Don't know where it was made, don't care. Don't care how well it would sharpen, either. Boot knives are for sticking holes in "things", not slicing them open. The blade has a double spine to strengthen it.............. in case you hit bone, dontcha' know.
