" ...  Love the stainless steel for rust resistance.  ...  "

" ...  This is my first full tang stainless steel knife all of my others are high carbon and I was pleased that it didn’t dull after a full night of use and it draws sparks off the ferro rod effortlessly.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Solid grip on the handle, multi-mount sheath is a bit of a puzzle for now.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The 14c28n Sandvik stainless steel is a breeze to sharpen, with good edge retention. ... From nearly every review, photo, and video I had previously seen, the leather sheath looked thin and cheap. ... It's actually nice, thick leather, and good retention even if it didn't have the flap/button closure. ... $75 for the knife with standard leather sheath, $85 for the combination sheath.  ...  "

" ...  I fixed the issue by slipping on the ring with the snap loop on it first then slipping the belt loop ring under that, i then sewed the two closest parts of each strap together and effectively ended up with a belt loop carrying set-up with a snap loop to hold the knife in place, after that it was perfect.  ...  "
