Classic look and very good workmanship make a great impression. The knife is well balanced, comfortable to use, and looks like high-end equipment.

The knife looks really great and immediately gives the feel of classic military equipment. It fits well in the hand, is comfortable to use, and works perfectly as part of a collection or as gear for outdoor trips.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed after unpacking. The grinds are not symmetrical on one side—a 3mm difference is visible to the naked eye, which is just tragic... The second flaw is an overheated tip of the blade—probably during factory sharpening... It has gained colors, which could indicate slight tempering of the blade. Unfortunately, that's too much for me to keep this legendary design in my collection. I hope this is the only faulty piece, because the knife really looks beautiful.
