Caution sharp blade!!
Love the blade, weight is a bit light but I can change the handle as it is a bit too small for my large hands. This item should come with a Warning Label, as while I was unwrapping the oiled blade, it went right through my thumb. Not thinking this blade would be that sharp, I was not overly cautious but others who purchase this, should use caution in un-wrapping it. Over all a good blade, sturdy nice form good weight but as I mentioned, the handle is a bit too small for me, so I will form another from custom handle from Epoxy Resin, use my custom pins and colors, and have one hell of a knife!!

Sharp in a good way
My hubby wanted a knife for his bday and he came across this one and I bought it for him. He is really happy to have it and excited about the weight and sharpness of this knife. He also loves the leather knife sheath too.

Just didn't fit.
The handle just didn't fit right in my hand. A little small, not the manufacturers fault, but it just didn't feel right in my hand. I'm a regular size guy with regular hands. And carrying thos in a scout carry is very uncomfortable. Softer leather would be a start but a less bulky sheath would be great.

Sheath was Disappointing!
Love the knive, however the sheath was flawed, which is probably equal to $30 of the cost/value. I opted for a replacement in the hopes another sheath would be in better condition and unfortunately it came even worse. I tried one more time to see if a better sheath would come but that option was not available. No intention of making it right was made by seller.

Odd sheathe, decent knife
My knife came in with a bit of a wonky paintjob where both sides are uneven and the part that goes around the very bottom edge of the handle looks like it was intentionally scratched off. It's REALLY SHARP and I haven't had to sharpen it just yet but I heard that it'll really wear down the blade faster then usual so I'll try and be more careful with it for now. The sheathe is like a whole 2 inches longer and I feel like it was actually meant for one of the other models and was just re-used despite being a little dangerously loose. I don't like how easily the knife is cutting away at the leather despite having had only gone through very light use (cutting tape and paper, not even cardboard or anything thick). I'm not a fan of horizontal carry but I wasn't really buying this for the sheathe anyways. I read the reviews and knew it wouldn't last long from the start. This feels like it was meant for people with big hands, and my hands are already big. It's really uncomfortable using this because of the big curve just under the hilt, but I honestly think it would be perfectly fine if it were just the same handle but smaller or if those curves were adjusted. The weight feels nice, not too heavy not too light. It's not a bad knife overall.

Handle to skinny to use effectively.
Nice knife sturdy holds an edge well. The handle was to skinny can't handle it like you need to.
