Customer Reviews
This is a limited edition and quite a bit more expensive as a result. First it is nicely boxed. The fit & finish are excellent. When open the blade locks firm & without play. When closed it has no "peek" (the point is hidden & covered). The handle is nicely textured and provides a solid grip. The blade came sharp and with a little stropping is razor sharp. Both the handle & blade look as excellent as the pictures show. This is an excellent pocket knife and will be following me on many adventures. Well worth the price and effort to find one.
Thank you for taking the time to write such an excellent excellent review, John. So glad you're happy with your new knife! If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out :) - Steven
