I have heard a lot how people say how this knife is really sharp. Well, my knife has some problems with the straight part after the curve and before the serrations. It is dull. Not even sharp enough to break the skin under moderate pressure while rubbing (yes, I tried this to test the sharpness).
The tip is like a pin though. It is sharp. The curve is also really sharp, like a razor. The serrations are also decent, but some parts are sharper than others. I don’t know if my knife just has a defect, but it does not hold up to the hype. But then again, I have high standards for sharp.
It is however VERY well built, fits comfortably in the hand, well balanced, and can definitely do some damage to anything that comes in its way.

This is an impressive knife. The blade is a good length for a hand to hand combat knife. Too long for practical tool use and too small for taking down trees. Just like advertised, this knife is what I would grab when I hear something go bump in the night. Perfect size to compliment your sidearm.
I do wish both sides of the blade arrived sharpened. The black finish on my blade scratched very easily, but the blade does stay reasonably sharp with use.
Oh yeah, this is most likely illegal to carry in your state, so don’t leave it laying around in your car or EDC on your person.

WOW! is all I can really say about this exceptional piece of art! From the instant I opened the box, I knew I had something special here! First off, This knife is made just heavy enough to feel absolutely rock hard, yet light enough that it doesn’t pull your pants off when attached to your belt.
The smell alone is an almost-sensuous experience. It smells vaguely of polished gun, or gun oil; also of pure testosterone incarnate!
The sheath included with it was more than I expected and was more than adequate for the knife.
Also, having only viewed this knife on [...], I had not realized just how big this knife is! IT’S HUGE!!

I don’t own guns. My girlfriend won’t let me. So what am I going to use to defend myself against crazy KKK Confederate hicks that wanna GET me “Deliverance” style when I’m out enjoying the great outdoors? This sweet baby will do just fine. It cuts through paper with ease. It’s heavy, so little girls won’t like it. But, as Borris says, “Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. If it does not work you can always hit him with it.” (Snatch.) So far, I’ve only used this thing to take off tags of new clothes. In that regard, it performs very well. The serrated edge doesn’t seem too special, but the handle is nice, the blade better, and the sheath is good too.

Looks to be a great knife. I have yet to put it through it’s paces, but I’m impressed so far. Out of the box the blade is razor(seriously) sharp. The handle is very comfortable and it has a good balance. My only reservation is with the sheath, seems a little flimsy. I would prefer a kydex sheath, but don’t think a factory one is available yet. This one won’t fit the other model sheaths as the blade is wider. overall, I’m very happy with it.
