An Absolute Monster
This is a really beefy knife. If you have large hands, the handle will fit nicely. If you have small hands, I would stay away from this knife. They are not kidding about the XL; not only is the handle big, but the blade is large. It is long, thick and heavy. I would not plan on carrying this in your pocket. It is noticeably heavy.The build quality is really good. I like the fit and finish. The blade is nicely ground. That being said, it took a little work on my fine stone and some stropping to reach optimal sharpness. I think it came sharp enough for use by normal people. On the other hand, this is not really a knife for normal people. I would stay away from this knife if you don't know how to sharpen or have easy access to a sharpening service. This is not a knock against this knife. It is just that the blade material is 14c28n. It is tough but it will dull with frequent use.I love the action on the knife. It opens with little effort despite the heavy blade. It also has a really satisfying click on opening. The closing action is easy, but you should exercise caution because this is a liner lock. This means that your fingers could be in the path of the blade. It is best to disengage the lock while the knife is upside down. You can then remove your fingers from the path of the blade before gently pushing the blade into the closed position.The best uses for this knife are for the kitchen and for camping and other outdoors activity. It may be beefy enough for survival/bushcraft tasks, but I would still insist on a fixed blade, just in case. In a pinch, this would probably do. I would just stay away from battoning because destructive testing is the only way to be sure. I would say that this knife has excellent usability so long as you understand that the beefyness of this knife would exclude it from EDC.Overall, I love this knife. I love how it feels in my hand, and it has its place in my collection. For what you get, I feel this is a good value.Ver másVer menos
