***Exotic Snakewood*** also known as Letterwood, or Leopardwood, stands out as one of the most aesthetically unique woods in the world. It only grows deep within the jungles of Guyana and Suriname, an exotic hardwood prized for its highly figured grain resembling a snake skin pattern.
***REAL Buffalo Horn*** Almost solid black, with a bit of transparency for the classic silver and black look.
***REAL Stag Antler*** We have requested the deer to grow it's antlers in perfect straight lines, but they are stubborn, and do not listen. Nature will have imperfections and a bit of unevenness depending on the piece.
***REAL Damascus*** Forged from layers of 1095/15N20 with a beautiful tear-drop/raindrop pattern, each blade is unique.
Leaf-Spring opening. Some pieces are quite strong, but some may need to be held firmly to lock. A leaf-spring uses stored potential energy, like a grass-hopper. Kicking against the sturdy ground, it can jump very high.... but kicking in the air, doesn't work too well. This same concept applies... brace the bottom of the handle against your palm with a firm grip. This provides a base for the spring to kick against.
PRO TIP: Rotate your wrist to a palm-up position, and even a weaker spring will still lock when held properly.

This was my first time doing business with the company, and everything went very well. I did receive a knife with a defect, as can always happen, and the replacement was provided promptly. I even got to chat with the owner of the business. I would definitely recommend for others!
I have purchased four products from S2G and been very, very pleased with the quality of each one. The turn-around time has been almost immediate and any ensuing customer service issues were resolved over the phone the same day. Very solid company to do business with.
Boy, the quality of Chinese autos has really improved in the last ten years. My recently received buffalo horn with Damascus blade is as good as an AKC or Beltrame. It cracks open easily and the blade on mine is straight and tight when locked. The only mild criticism I can offer is that the horn is jet black with absolutely no grey or white swirls. The fits and machining are all clean and aligned.
Appreciate the comments! Typically, the deeper black horn would be desired.... but each one is different and we do get some pcs that are quite milky in appearance. You can always put a note on your order as to what color tone you prefer and we'll do our best to pick it out for you. Thank you for the review!
the switchblade is well made and arrived razor sharp.Very happy with my purchase
Genuine Damascus, though it is worth noting it has a harder steel core, like San Mai style. Real and solid horn. Fit and finish is fantastic for this price. Fires hard. Every rivet cared for. You will love it- I do!
