Best knife I have ever ownedThis thing came razor sharp right out of the box and the leather handle smells amazing. Ive taken it camping three times now and used it to chop up kindling and cut through some dead branches and it still holds an edge like day one. The serrated part is great for cutting through rope and synthetic straps which is actually why I got the serrated over the straight edge. Only real complaint is you gotta oil the blade after every use because the 1095 steel can rust if you dont stay on top of it but thats a small price to pay for a knife this solid. This thing has HISTORY behind it and it feels like it too.
Incredibly sharp right out of the box
Serrations handle rope and synthetic material really wellBlade needs oiling after each use to prevent rust

Beautifully Made KnifeThis is a very well-made knife. I'm not a knife expert, so I can't comment on steel composition or design specifics. The knife feels very comfortable in hand and looks excellent. The leather sheath is equally well-crafted. I've owned it for three months now, and it shows every sign of lasting a lifetime. It's definitely worth the investment
just a great knife
