Simple, rugged, and beautiful
First impressions of this knife are very good. Very comfortable in hand with an ample handle. Very good finish with nice chamfering and lovely, symmetrical grinds. Came fairly sharp, and with a little stropping could shave. It feels very balanced in the hand as well. My only complaint and reason I rated it 4 instead of 5 stars is the kydex sheath. It is flat out terrible, I mean bad, possibly the worst sheath I have ever had come with a knife. There is no ramp to push off, so slow deployment is difficult, and the narrow, rough opening makes it necessary to fiddle with the angle every time you want to re-sheath it. Also, it rattles like a maracca, and the overall finish of the sheath is just poor. I really don't know what they were thinking. Anyway, with a proper sheath, this knife will make an awesome EDC fixed blade.
