My thoughts so far very solid , built to exact tolerances . Fit and Finish is superb Fits my hand perfectly . Feels indestructible in hand . Handle is perfect size for my medium size hand would probably suit larger hands as well . Blade is shaving sharp but not razor you have to push on it a bit to get it to cut . Looking closely at the blade you can see thats it`s CNC Machined .
The Leather sheath is actually pretty high quality , which you`d expect from a Knife in this price range . All in all i`m very suprised we have`nt heard more about these Knives on the various forums .
