Everyone,
I'm brand new to the forums and wanted some input. I've been using an 8 inch wustof classic as my primary knife for 8 years. I like it and it has been a workhorse for me. That said I'm thinking about trying something a bit higher end. For a variety of reasons I've been considering the Z kramer from SLT. I've read most of the reviews (in various threads). I tested it recently and really liked it. None of the concerns noted in previous threads bothered me.
I noticed recently that SLT is also offering a version in damascus steel for a bit more money, but I searched and I could not find any reviews. So a few questions, some general some specific. What is the difference between the carbon and the damascus? Are there any reviews of the damascus? Is it worth the extra money (very subjective question I suppose)? Thanks for the help, apologies if this has already been covered.
For the record, this is the SLT link:
