    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,

    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...

    very impressed and edge retention is still great after field dressing. VG-10 steel
