Larry C 5 At first the handle felt cheap, but as soon as I put it to use, it was amazing, never lost my grip, a sharpness that lasts through countless jobs... I highly recommend that knife, both as a knife collector and as a cook. I even bought more, one for the home, one for the shop, one for the fishing bag... my only concern is the cleaning of the knife being a folder, so far it’s been good though....
