Nice knife, but. 07/23/2022
By Rbert Butler
I really do like this knife. The fit, form and function are top notch and well worth the money. The down side is that the knife was dull right out of the box. I would like to believe that a $425 knife would be at least as sharp $100 knife right out of the box however, this blade had such a bad burr that it would not slice paper. I do not feel that I should have to sharpen a brand new $425 knife before I can use it but that's what I had to do. As just a note; I am a tip-up guy but when I switched the pocket clip I got a hot spot at the clip so I put it back to tip-down and now have on hot spots. All of that being said, I do like the knife and recommend it to others.
