Pros: Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Finish, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Beautiful yet functional.
This is my EDC and I don’t plan on retiring it anytime soon. The COS steel is fantastic and the desert ironwood handle is simply beautiful. Don’t let the good looks fool you, it’s rugged and capable enough to handle the toughest jobs. Sharpening is fairly easy and it takes a wicked sharp edge. My only complaint, and this is strictly preference, the dangler sheath hangs too low for me. I bought an F1 leather sheath for it and it suites my needs perfectly. Most folks would prefer the dangler sheath, I simply don’t like it. Like I said, it’s a preference thing and really doesn’t have anything to do with how freakin awesome this knife is. The only way to make it even more awesome would be if they included a DC4 like they do for the pro series. If you’re on the fence, just buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
