Timber Wolf Damascus Short Sword

Sword is sharp, sturdy, pleasing to the eye!!!....My only complaint is there is enough oil on the blade and handle to do an oil change on your vehicle...very nice though!!

Love this ! Well built! Sharp! Well balanced! I only have one issue about it, I understand that you need to oil the blade since it is Damascus steel, however it's like somebody tried to dump a quarter of a bottle of oil in the bag and the handle being wire-wrapped keeps leaking oil out of it no matter how much I try to dry it. A light coating of oil I could see but it doesn't need to be drowned in it.

Very well wrapped and protected in the box. Excellent looking Damascus knife/sword and decently heavy blade. Although listed as knife, could be a short sword. Came sharp enough for me. A little hard to get in and out of the sheath (good quality) at first but seems OK now, Keeping it well oiled since I live in a tropical area.

Taking it out of the box, the damascus pattern left me awe struck. Stunning aesthetics! The blade is heavy making it an excellent chopper, and it comes quite sharp, slicing and stabbing through the cardboard boxes it came in with ease; though it's not the sharpest it could be. Definitely a new favourite! Downsides: As others have mentioned, it's absolutely drenched in oil. The oiling of the blade is appreciated, but maybe some way of keeping it off the handle could be found? After getting it, be prepared to wrap some paper towels or something around the handle before you can actually use it safely! It also keeps getting snagged when trying to put it back into the sheath. Like there's some loose threads or something on the inside? Overall the downsides are pretty minor and easily dealt with, so it's hard to go wrong with this one! Just a personal thing, but the way the handle slopes downwards towards the pommel makes it feel like the sword might fly out of my hand if I swing too hard. It hasn't; the metal grip wire is actually amazingly grippy (though it does start to hurt your palm after a while). But the feeling subconsciously causes some concern that it might fly away at any moment.
