Comfortable but not perfect
I bought this knife for field dressing and deboning elk. First the positives:1) the handle is incredibly comfortable,2) the bladestock thickness is great for slicing,3) the blade shape is excellent with a deep belly and a finger stop of sorts,4) the thumb ramp is a great idea,5) the scallops at the front of the handle are good for a pinch grip and detail work.Now the bad:1) the blade is dull. I tried to strop it, but no luck. I’ll have to take the sharpener to it. The edge is very inconsistent. It looks like a new employee or intern tried to sharpen this knife. 2) The blade should have a sharpening choil.3) The thumb ramp is a great idea, but the edges are way too sharp and thus uncomfortable. I’m going to have to knock down the edges. I watched several reviews of Work Tuff knives and all praised the company’s fit and finish. My knife is not perfect and so I wonder if I just got a lemon or the reviewers were biased.
