This knife has a perfect blade. Grind angle is totally consistent, no nicks or knurls and very straight alignment. Only flaws are in design aesthetics: the handle has a minor flaw where the spine meets the hilt, and on one side of the handle the brass wire is missing one, whereas the other side has two brass wires between the wood pieces. But the blade is perfect, and is pinned nice and tight into the handle scales, no looseness or rattles. I’d say it will be extremely functional, and unless inspecting it, the minor aesthetic flaws are not really noticeable. Perhaps for a collector, this would be a bigger issue, but ALL my knives are to be used.

I love this knife. On inspection the handle is large and solid, the blade razor sharp. The one thing this knife deserves would be a good leather sheath. I recommend buying it. LJP

Last month I received this knife as my first "knife of the month club" prize! I'm impressed with the quality and the balance of this blade. Balance point is at the guard and assembly is of good quality. The sheath that comes with it is worth the price of the knife alone. I even liked the velcro keeper for the knife so you don't loose it from the sheath. My only issue is it wasn't very sharp when it arrived but my diamond sharpener made quick work of that. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for this type of knife.

Just got this bad boy in the knife of the month club. Super sharp and very well made. Thanks Budk!

Got this as my knife for the $9.99 knife monthly subscription and couldn't be happier. Once I seen the size of the package I knew I was getting something a lot better than a pocket knife and they continue to give me great items through this subscription. Feels very sturdy and came Sharp As a Razor out of the box. Very happy with this one! Thanks budk

This is one of the NICEST knives I own!! I liked the first one so much, I bought another one. I am considering about 4 or 5 more......

Handle arrived almost square tward the guard. So needed to do alot of sanding and buffing of my own. Blade looks good tho. Thanks BudK

Definitely 5 stars. Not really heavy but great to work with. Nylon sheath, but it's nice and fits well. This is a keeper.

Gorgeous knife, and it slices brisket like a chef's blade. Would work nicely on just about any kind of meat, alive or dead. It looks like the price got bumped up a couple of dollars, but I would pay $20 for this, easily. A must-have.

The knife is well built and would definitely get the job done, but the handle is uncomfortable unless i have gloves. But overall a nice piece.
