Best knife I own
Great utility/camping knife. It feels great in the hand with either standard or reverse grip. I got mine today and it already outperforms most of my knives. I am going to EDC this knife and after today I think the idea isn't so far fetched. In public I haven't had anyone gasp when I took it out to show my friends or to open things. Very high quality knife in my opinion.

Does everything it says it would and more
Knife was shipped the day after I ordered and I got it in less than a week. Impressive since I'm in New Zealand ordering from the States. I've run the blade through the motions of cutting food and opening cans and it's performed really well. Everyone I've shown it too has been really impressed with it. Only thing preventing it from getting a 5 is the fact that it wasn't as sharp as I wanted. A little work on a diamond stone fixed that right up.
