It’s suitable for peeling garlic. You can also peel an apple and slice a tomato. The blade could be about a millimeter thicker, because when you try to bend it with your hands, it feels like you could break it with your bare hands. The handle could have been made better, out of steel. The carbon-fiber-reinforced material should do the job, but when you hold it in your hand, it feels like you’re holding a toy from a market stall. Extremely light. Maybe it was intentionally made that way so it’s less to carry. We’ll test it in action. But I have mixed feelings when holding it in my hand. It looks like a big chopper, but it’s very light—too light in my opinion.

A solid piece of a decent knife, the blade is flawless, well-sharpened and cuts as it should. The sheath with a clip to attach, for example, to a belt is also cool. Overall, I'm satisfied :) 5/5 stars.

Nice, big knife. John Rambo wouldn't be ashamed of it.
-
Serious blade and most importantly it works great. The saw also does the job.

In terms of quality, maybe it's not top class, but it looks really cool. I recommend it for a collection.
