The blade itself is high quality and came sharp. I did a leather wrap on the handle that greatly improved handling. The sheath was a problem. Because the blade is curved the tip was cutting into the kydex sheath and making it very difficult to draw. Every time I would draw it kydex shavings were on the blade. I was able to heat the sheath with a heat gun and reshape it. Now it works as it should have. Overall, the blade is high quality, light, easily concealed, and effective. However, if you are not comfortable with potentially having to reshape the kydex sheath then I wouldn’t recommend this blade for you.
