It is not normal for damascus but there could be a lot of factors here. How are you sharpening it? What sharpening system or sharpener are you using? Who made the knife? Can you talk more about the manufacturer?

The Heist is really nice. It's thin though so if that's not your thing, maybe the Iridium is the better choice? They just came out with a new tanto version for 2024.
And no, that's not weird at all. In fact, I'm proud to add to your list 😎😄
Jansport is excellent. I recently sent a 30-year-old bag in for warranty work which they honored at no cost to me other than shipping. A great choice.
Is it possible to take a closer photo of the stamps on the blades?
Awesome. I bet it will be great. Be sure to report back and post your experiences!
I would not have guessed that being in a knife community in the Lemmy-verse would cause me to start saving up for a 3D printer, but here we are.
And if you're worried you're going to pick the wrong one I get ripped off I would say avoid anything that you see on Instagram or Facebook or any mid-article advert.
Seems to me that if it ticks all the boxes for you then that's the knife you should get. If you've not owned this style of knife or if you've not owned one made of non-stainless steel then you'll have to accept that this knife, at this price, will be part of your learning curve. Some people feel more comfortable buying a less expensive knife that's a little bit more forgiving in terms of abuse or even just figuring out if that's the right knife for them. Learn with the cheap one so that you know for sure you want the expensive one is a valid option. However if you had that experience already then buy the knife that fills you with joy and go forth and chop a lot of vegetables! 🥰
What made you pick this manufacturer?
I'm really lost without a comparison photo featuring the CQC-6K. 🤭

I would certainly reach out to the maker directly. That seems like a real issue if he's forging the blades himself.
