So far I've just unboxed, removed the lacquer, and chopped some leftover steak for a sandwich. Not a great test for cutting but initial impressions are good.
Knife feels robust in hand with aggressive distal taper and forward balance. That combined with it's rustic look and feel gives you the vibe that this thing is meant to be used and not babied. Only knock is the handle as some have mentioned, it just ain't it. Will look to replace that in the near future. Overall, seems like a great knife and good value.
