Damascus is just a finish to what is basically weak carbon steel. You could get something better at Wal-Mart.

modern damascus steel is just pattern welded and of variable quality. The historic damascus steel had a reputation for holding edges and being very plastic without shattering. It was more of a chemical process to make the ingots. I'd avoid modern stuff and especially cheap ones. I'd stick with Finnish knives. They are usually very good.

Agree with this. Pick up a nice Leuku. The knife you have shown is a fighter not utility; useless innawoods, not to mention Pakishit.
Look to the Scandinavian makers for price and quality. A H.I. kukri would also be a good choice.

Looks like shit. Pakistan produces shit. Only purpose for a knife like that is for fighting. You're better off taking that piece of shit to /k/ and not /out/ get a real knife like esee, becker, busse, Ontario.
