"The knife is well balanced, has good weight to it, and although it arrived sharp, I had no issues taking it to a whetstone and making it razor sharp. After a few minutes finishing on the leather strop it was slicing paper better than most of my other knives. I've been whittling with it at night and it goes through the wood like butter.
The handle is stunning. The blade gets a lot of attention because it is beautiful, but you can't ignore the handle. The leather handle is smoothed out and dense. With the full tang running through it, it feels incredibly sturdy, and amazing in the hand."
