Could've been beautiful
I love the geometry of this knife. The grip appears aggressive, but feels nice in the hand. Great size as well. It comes with a decent sheath with great Molle and belt attachment options. Halfbreed seems to take a lot of pride in their knives. Mine, however, came with a scratch in the finish on both sides near the top end of the fuller. If the finish is as tough as advertised, this could only be a QC issue. Also, the knife came in an elaborate large box with some freebies (a patch, some stickers, etc). It seems they could charge less if the packaging wasn't so extra. The grind seems nice, and it's super sharp from the factory. I'm personally a big fan of D2. It seems it could have been a little thicker, but it's a well-balanced blade that feels like it's more for finesse than beating. I took off one star for the poor quality control on the finish. I really hope Halfbreed keeps putting out nice designs, and tightens up on the QC. I wish I could attach pictures.
