Now that is a proper made knife.

 

It has been hand forged, heated, then folded, beat and heated and folded the same many times, the more times it is folded the better.

 

When sharpened then the edge of the fold becomes the cutting edge.

 

All the very best swords used to be made this way

 

I never even knew about the folding until maybe 10 years ago when either reading or hearing about some swords being made.

 

So that knife in you photo, wouldn't something like that be worth at least $300 US ??

 

I traded pruning to a knife maker like 18 years ago, for a antler handle and polished steel blade. All hand-made other than the metal blank. And that was worth $120. I'd guess your knife would be 3 times the work.
