Cons: Finish
Great as expected
Finish is a bit less flashy than its former Japanese counterparts, though this was expected. Sharp and sturdy, sheath fits well and does not dull the blade. Seems as though CS may be addressing that issue, but actual kydex has never caused me that problem. Knife is a bit thinner in plunge grind along with the tip. I wouldn't pry much of anything with it , San Mai or not

Good bug-out-bag knife
Over I like this knife. Wouldn’t be my first choice for an exclusively tactical knife or exclusively bushcraft, but it seems to be an OK hybrid of both…. Hence a good bug-out-bag knife. It is large but light weight. Handle is somewhat thin but good material…. grippy and comfortable. Good steel, good tactical blade that can pinch hit on a lot of other arenas. She is simple and decent quality. I have it 4 starts because the knife isn’t balance that good… front heavy. Also, the sheath dulls part of the blade reinserting. This is my first SRK. If the carbon steel SRK’s are built the same as this one they would definitely be a 5 star at the price they sell for. I have other high carbon blades and wanted something more rust resistant so went with this blade. I am considering purchasing some of the less expensive SRK knives for other family member big-out-bag knives.
