    Nothing wrong with it. No chips and steeled up sharp when it got dull. It got three quarters through a cut up and bone out of the first one before it needed a tweak with the steel, which is about what you would expect from a carbon steel like O1. Not chipping when you hit a bone is good sign that the maker got the hardening for the particular steel right.

    Sure, 3v and Elmax are in a different league, but you pay more than twice as much too.


    Handle and blade shape were fine. I will post a couple of pics when I get home later in the week.
    I would recommend this maker for a good value knife,

    Hi Thar

    Thanks for the review! I appreciate you field testing and posting feedback of the knife.

    I hope you enjoy it further and that it stays sharp!

    If you can provide any additional feedback, it will be greatly appreciated, I am always looking to improve my craft.

    I got this one last year from bloke named Jon in Torbay on Auckland's North Shore...

    Very nice to hold and has been fantastic in reducing Red's down to just meat...
