It’s a perfect blade for cutting my bamboo. It’s very sharp out of the box too. It’s light and easy to handle.

A great chopper
Of all the sites on the net, the Knife Center is the only one with the best customer service. The lady told me I could list what I needed them to check out on the knife before they shipped it. No one could or would do that! It was even printed on my receipt. Some of the reviews report that some of these had lose handles, unsharpened blades, uneven grinds and poor fitting sheaths. So I wanted to be sure those things were ok before shipping. I try to avoid returning things.And bingo, they sent me a keeper! It was sharp but I improved it and commenced cutting an uprooted tree roots. The right side bevel was too convex near the edge so I reprofiled it flatter with the Rooster method. Now this thing sinks in deeply with very little effort. And this tree has been dead for nine months so it’s really hard and dense. I don’t have any blade that will do that, even longer heavier machetes! I like the wood handle and I reshaped it to fit my hand. I used boiled linseed oil for a finish, made a para cord lanyard and it is good to go. This knife is amazing and what it does is unlike anything else. Get one.
