Hey. The knife's nice, but there was a little rust or patina spot on the blade already, which is fine. My main issue is that the blade wasn't as sharp as you'd expect for a Damascus chef's knife. The edge was at 20°+, which is okay for stainless steel but not for a Damascus knife with those steels, so I had to reshape it to a recommended 16°, and that wasn't fun with a 180-grit whetstone since I didn't have a coarser one.
