Pros: Handle Material, Materials, Finish, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Great knife for the price with some serious caveats
The blade on this is fantastic, and the handle is super comfortable. I don't believe the handle scales are held in place by epoxy or glue, just the pins, and there are a few hair thin gaps between the handle and the tang. I noticed after some wood cutting that the scales seemed to have adjusted just enough to barely no longer be fingernail flush with the tang, but for the price, the fit and finish is quite good overall. Unfortunately, while the sheath seems really nice, mine had a big slice in it from the blade when it arrived, and every time I put the knife back in the sheath it cuts it some more. Your mileage may vary.
