"I bought this hoping it would be like a beefy exacto knife that can be sharpened. It lives up to that hope perfectly. Mine came with one small corner of one of the wooden scales sanded flat. While this appears to be a flaw, I like it because it allows me to orient the blade in my hand by feel. There's also a small gap between the scale and the tang near the blade on one side. The final grind is slightly wavy, as though done by hand on a belt sander, but no big deal, it'll sharpen to my hand soon enough. Not perfectly sharp out of the box, but nothing a little honing and stropping couldn't handle.
The sheath is adequate for protecting the blade on my workbench, but I never trust rivets to hold a sheath to my belt.
Perfect for what I want to use it for (durable and precise craft knife). Well worth the $35 I paid."
