Quality Look and Feel, Sharp! and Great Sheath Design
As with most things in online shopping you never know what you're going to get, and this knife is pretty solid.The knife: has a good length and I like the design of the blade, and I think it looks intuitive for about anything you'd need it for. It's sharp, very sharp right out of the box and it looks like they put effort into it's production. The handle isn't very thick but is long and allows you to have a full good grip and is very ergonomic. Also, the forefinger hilt gives some extra safety in case of slipping. The design is good and feels like good quality.The Sheath: Quality leather, or it totally feels like leather. It's not stiff plastic or hard baked leather, it's good material and feels soft and malleable, I love this design, it's versatile and intuitive. Most sheaths just give the option to have it vertical and you have to Frankenstein it to secure it any other way. I have the option to secure it vertically or horizontally and it's built into the sheath, so it'll stay secure.Yes it does come with a sharpening stone, I feel its a little small but good to have if you need it, when you need it.Overall great product and I'm eager to use it on camping trips. Good Buy

My four stars are for the leather.
Ok so overall everthing appeared well done. The sheath, as previously criticized, was awsome. However, it looked like there was another plan or design for this knife and because of a flaw, they did they're best to grind it away, add some filing/ jimping, and pass it on. I'll add photos later. I'm no pro but I know metal. This is off. I can see where there is potential for fracture and to be honest, it looks pretty bad. I never post negative post, but this is QC and being rectified unprofessionals. I'm thinking the tanto design was a "fix" at this point. Sweet sheath though!

Excellent for the money!
In my opinion, anyone having a problem with this knife is expecting too much for the money. Essentially, this is a tanto version of the Tom Brown Tracker shown in the movie The Hunted. They are over $300. Points:1. D2 tool steel is fine for camp knives and any other common use. If you need a combat fighting or survival knife there are others designed for the purpose.2. The edge is sharp but too shallow to be very durable. No problem really. Do your homework and reshape the edge to suit your use.3. One reviewer found loose stitching on the sheath. Mine was tight. Hey, this is thick leather and strong, but isn't a $100 sheath. If you use it, you'll have to put a few stitches in it sometime anyway.4. For me, this knife is perfect. It is extremely attractive and not so valuable that you can't actually use it. It will see a lot of use in camp and I won't cry if the blade gets scratched.I'll be buying more as gifts.

Love this Blade exceptionally made..
Lobe the steel and design. The handle die is a nogo but wears off easily bit as for the steel very well crafted. I drove for an hour through vermont mountains with this resting on the trunk of my car i still dont know how but the leather sheath held like glue to my car absolutely my new good luck knife. "Thats not a knife, this is a knife" lol... Definetly will love it... thanks.

sturdy but no high quality sheath
The sheath is sturdy but not high quality sawing and many marks on it. The knife is razor sharp (too sharp?) just be super careful of who is going to manipulate/get that knife. Mind your fingers! :) the sheath is a bit snug, not the best combo with a razor sharp knife. I will keep the knife as I like the unconventional shape.

Solid Tool/ Sheath
I'm impressed by the quality of the craftsmanship. The sheath can go horizontally at the small of your back and the knife grasped by your right hand.... If however you want to hang it from your belt veriticle whether the left or right, the right hand grasp is backwards....lefty basically. Another small issue is that with the small wetstone compartment built into the sheath, across your belt is fine if hiking but you're Not going to want to sit in your car with that in the small of your back. My handgun is far less intrusive. For what it's worth.....I still love it!
