If you're looking for a solid, heavy yet comfortable damascus fighting knife, but don't really feel like paying an arm and a leg for it, the Bulldog hand forged damascus fighter by Museum Arms & Armor could be exactly what you need! Sturdy, reliable and extremely cost efficient, the Bulldog makes a statement. It's unique shape and design is both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic, making heavy cutting chores a breeze. This is a real high-quality "user-knife". The damscus blade, made from over 500 layers of high carbon steel and nickel, takes a mean sharp edge, and holds it, making slicing tasks a cinch. The clip point and false top edge make piercing actions just as easy while the weight of the knife allows for chopping when you need to. It is recommended that most knives be kept away from being used as chopping tools, but the bulldog's solid, full tang construction allows for small chopping tasks. This is one of the heaviest knives I've held in a while! If you're looking for something light, then don't buy it. However, if you're looking for an extremely strong, multi-purpose knife with a custom design edge to it, then we highly recommend the "Bulldog."
