Cons: Sheath/Scabbard

Good knife, bad sheath

Keeping in mind that one should temper expectations with a knife this inexpensive, this is a pretty excellent little knife. The pros: I have size XL hands and the skeletonized handle fits nicely in a three fingered grip. The blade is just the right length to index with a finger over the tip for controlled fine work. There's no jimping, which some may find lacking but I find the crowned spine to be very comfortable when manipulating the blade in different grips. It's a lightweight, fun little blade! The cons: The grind on the secondary bevel on one side is a little uneven. Not a deal breaker, especially at this price but worth noting. And the reason it's not 5 stars; the sheath is trash. It's a stiff plastic and the retention loop broke off moments after getting the knife. It was riveted on but only had half of the rivet. It looks like they tried to flare the rivet without using the washer to hold it in place. Luckily the sheath will still hold the blade without the strap, but it's still not good. TL:DR Great knife for the price. Awful sheath.
