I saw there were no reviews on this knife and kind of took a chance on buying it. I bought it as a gift to my grandpa so that he'd have a good skinner for when deer season come round. When I took it out of the package to see if I was getting what I was looking for I was very pleased. It came out of the box with a good edge on it, could probably still use a little sharpening but it was a good start. It was surprisingly pretty, I thought it would be more rugged looking but it's got a somewhat pearly looking handle. The blade is kind of broad. The only thing I found the slightest bit displeasing was the weight. It's a little heavy but it shouldn't be any less effective for the job it'll be doing. My grandpa was happy with it and said it'll get used this season. I plan on getting myself one as well, and recommend it to everyone else as well.
