Outstanding Knife
I bought this knife for camping and backpacking, stainless steel because I usually do the cooking and a stainless blade is a good thing. Right out of the box, this was the second sharpest knife I've ever bought. The blade is a perfect mirror finish, the edge precisely ground. Shaved arm hair imperceptibly. The handle is soft and smooth, just beautiful. I could go on and on about this knife, but to put it simply: In my survival bag I keep an Italian combat knife that is basically a crowbar with a razor blade attached to it. Having said that, if stuff ever hits the fan, I will definitely grab THIS knife on my way out the door, because if civilization is really collapsing, it would be a disgrace to leave a knife this good behind. If you are buying this as a gift, note that it comes in a very nice cylindrical box with a cleaning cloth and a pamphlet detailing the history of the company, back to the days when a knife smith used to pedal a bike and bag of knives over a Norwegian mountain range to sell his products in neighboring towns. Very impressive looking; it will be appreciated by any outdoorsman.
