Judging from the promotional video the blade is flat, the step looks more like an optical illusion of the "damascus". Nothing to object on the price, if it could seem justified for a high-quality knife, I find it excessive for a wooden cutting board.
Just to dispel the illusion re: price for good, see my other comment here. Similar knives to this without the branding frippery (but still with the decorative pattern welded blade made of the same material) are worth about $70, retail.
This is undoubtedly a novelty piece, and not a high quality knife.
That's not to say "low quality" knives are necessarily useless. Many millions of people successfully cut food in their kitchens every day with dollar store level cutlery that would make any professional chef eat his toque before touching any of them. But that doesn't excuse this one costing $280, or having dumb design decisions baked right into it...
Oh but I agree that the price isn't right, even factoring in the 'specially made for Cover merchandise' can't justify a 4X increase.
