Cons: Sheath/Scabbard

Excellent knife

Pro's- styling, handle, blade geometry, weight, ergonomics, build quality ( I seen a review where the reviewer was batoning wood and hammered down on handle this kind of abuse was of course going to damage the handle ) if used correctly should last a very long time. Con's- not really any if I were to nit pick the sheath rattles a bit, but I shuck upside down with the knife in and it did not come lose, it is a pity you cannot lock the blade in like the ghost strike so it would be truly ambidextrous. Would be nice if you were able to change handle scale ( customise like some competitors )

It’s a good knife but the sheath is not the best.

Knife great, sheath crap

Solid knife, could be the only one you need, but the sheath system is utter garbage. Hard plastic and Velcro? These can be demolished in a flash. Have to buy a serious sheath for this excellent knife.

Not for Righties who scout carry

I really like this knife, but the scout carry is only lefty or cross draw. Not ideal.

Good knife flimsy sheath

The knife itself is good, love the stonewash blade, the handle is thick, great for people with long fingers like me. The rubber is grippy, good for cold weather. The handle color is a little more dull than I expected but no big deal. Compact enough to EDC without being tiny, belt or pocket, although the handle is beefy, it does take up more space in your pocket than a flatter handled knife, more of a belt carry for me. The only problem is the sheath... it feels cheap and flimsy, although it does come with a horizontal carry belt loop attachment which I appreciate. The knife itself is heavy & sturdy, thick blade, but I would not trust this sheath to last as long as the knife, I guess time will tell. On the good side the blade does snap very securely into the sheath.

Amazing design, poor quality

Got this knife 3 days ago and batoned 1 piece 3 inch diameter wood and cut some fruit up. Noticed it is chipping after very use. I love the feel and design but quality of steel is low considering this is a full tang blade. Suggest upgrading steel to come 3v and up price then would buy again. Thank you for your time.
