## Description

desertcart.com : Father's Day, Mother's Day & Birthday Gift for Him Her - ALBATROSS 7" Ball Bearing Assisted Opening Pocket Knife-Red Sandalwood Handle & Modern Damascus Steel Blade - Premium Folding Knife with Gift Box - HGDK023 : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great EDC knife - I am a knife builder, so this review is coming from that perspective. This is a great little knife. I have used it for several months now and it has met or exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a spring assisted opener and the mechanism on this knife works great, quick and smooth. Very solidly built, especially for a mass produced knife. I was also looking for an aesthetically pleasing knife, and this little guy hits all the marks. The blade is beautiful - multilayered "Damascus" steel with a high carbon core that takes and holds a fine edge. The scales are a dark, hard fine-grained wood with a smooth finish, recessed screw holes and consistent tolerances. My only complaint, a wish actually, is that they would offer a variety of scale materials. That being said, however, a handy person could probably switch the scales out with a material of their own choosing if they wanted to. Which I will probably do sometime in the future.
Review: Very smooth action - Seams fatter than expected but nice knife.
