I'm very happy with this knife. Buds had the best price I could find. They beat Amazon and it delivered in like 2 days. I was surprised. The knife itself comes ridiculously sharp. Like... RIDICULOUSLY sharp. Do not mess around with this knife. It is literally a razor blade. I can shave my arm hair smooth in one pass. I really cannot stress this enough. The blade steel is a higher quality. I haven't had a chance to really put it to use yet, but I have no doubt it'll hold an edge for a respectable amount of work. I bought it as a backup skinning knife, which is not exactly it's primary intended use. And to be honest, it will definitely do the job, but it's a little heavy for that purpose. Well balanced, just heavy. It has a full tang and a thick spine. Definitely feels durable. I the grip panels are not my favorite thing every, but they work and they're comfortable enough. But G-10 with slightly more texture would have been nice. When I was looking at it, I couldn't find very many reviews. It's not an extremely popular model. Most reviews complimented the blade but said the sheath was garbage. I'm not the biggest fan of the 2 mounting screws, but overall the retention is good starting out. Time will tell I suppose. I'm happy with the knife and happy with the purchase.

Great knife ! Feels good in the hand , and has cut through everything I’ve used it on like it wasn’t there.
