Any UK legal stainless Damascus folders apart from Victorinox?
on: February 02, 2020, 01:26:20 AM
Thinking of treating myself to a UK legal stainless Damascus folder, and while I know that is going to be pricy, I'm wondering if it is possible for it to not be as pricy as the obvious choice, Victorinox. So my question, are there alternate companies to choose such offerings from? Is it worth it, or would the advice be to bite the bullet and pay the extra for the obvious Victorinox quality?

Some absolutely amazing stuff, so beautiful.

Unfortunately much of it is out of my price range - but I was stunned at the price of the Higonokami - if only it was stainless!

Regarding the Nagao Higonokami Hoseki Damascus - does anyone have one? If so, what has your experience with it been like? Really tempted...

If I can't find any I'll have to take some tomorrow when I've got better light.
