This just arrived[my employer bought it] and I had a chance to get a closer look.
Absolutely stunning.
Really nice blade and whole knife made nicely.
Very straight.
Cladding looks very good.
Profile is super sexy and line of the spine[going up towards the tip] is just perfect.
Balance is there.
Handle is superb.
Tang hole well finished and all neat as hell
For me the knife is just perfect. I like it, even though I would be scared to use it on everyday basis.
There is one minor issue with it though, when the knife was ordered I was excited to check the sharpness OoTB...
I was hoping the amount of money spent would made the knife scoring minimum 9/10 in every way.
It did not.
I honestly dont understand it, why?
Its definitely not cheap, so why wouldnt they sharpen it to maximum?
Is it cause they believe when you buy such a thing you should know how to sharpen or something?
Any good answer?
