As usual the knife shipped fast fast fast. Blade was off center, blade was not as sharp as other CJRBs and Artisans I have in my collection. Thumb opening is pretty good while middle finger is 3 of 5 easy to fail I imagine it will break in fine so that scoring could raise a bit time will tell. I’m a fan of Artisans AR-RPM9 holds a good edge and sharpens easily. Overall it’s a really nice knife with a couple of issues.
