Saw a few good reviews before I decided to order one. Was a bit worried when I heard about people returning the knives. Luckily, I got a good model out of the box. Except for the tiny gap of the show side thumb stud, I found the knife to be really good - from the blade action to fit and finish. Those on the fence should give Vanguard Knives a try.

Beautiful and very well built knife. I can't wait to see what's next from Vanguard.
