### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Nice sharpness; ok value
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2019*

Pros: Metal quality appears good. Nice edge out of the boxCons: Tang was a little warped. A few minor nicks. Good protection of the edge is absolutely necessary when fitting scales in order to prevent damage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great quality steel, makes for a awesome project!
  

*by V***6 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2019*

Beautiful little knife blank project. The steel is of great quality, and if you look close you can see the layers of forging near the edge. Slapped some curly wood and decorative pins on there, polished to a mirror shine and removed the logo, and a stunning paring knife is the result. Sharpens to a razor edge. I only wish they offered a version with no logo, but a little rouge takes care of it easy.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Knife is great, the extras aren't.
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2018*

Knife came in tack sharp, although a little lighter than I anticipated.The pins it shipped with didn't set properly and took much more effort to set than they should, but in the end worked out OK.The gift box the knife came in was poor quality that wasn't even properly glued together, total garbage, I'd just throw it out.All in all though, mostly satisfied with the blank.
