Customer Reviews & Ratings
For knife lovers
A beautiful knife. The blade is obviously exceptionally sharp. I would have preferred a little more weight at the end as the knife feels very light. The walnut handle is the highlight of the knife. I think it’s worth the little extra over the standard handle.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
