The knife itself is fantastic, excellently made, razor-sharp, with a micarta handle that is perfectly crafted and fitted in a beautiful color. Unfortunately, I have some concerns about the sheath. Although it's made of kydex and holds the knife very well—even too tightly—the finishing of the sheath is not what I expected. Out of fifteen holes in the sheath, only seven are reinforced with metal grommets, but the worst part is the belt attachment. It's a bent/shaped strip of kydex in the shape of a belt loop, attached with two silver screws (unfortunately, not black). There is no traditional belt loop or any other kind of attachment, just a piece of kydex. In summary: the knife itself is 10/10, but the sheath was neglected, which is very important for a knife. Buying a knife at this price, I expected much better workmanship of the sheath. Overall, I will make another sheath myself because, as I repeat, the knife itself is fantastic!!
Everyday carry EDC knife crafted by Polish bladesmith Radosław Łęgowik.
Drop-point blade measuring 3.3 mm thick, forged from high-carbon tool steel O2 Bohler K720, noted for its outstanding durability and abrasion resistance. Thanks to its elevated chromium content, the steel also offers enhanced corrosion resistance. The blade is heat-treated to a hardness of 59 HRC. A flat grind ensures excellent slicing performance, while jimping along the spine provides a secure resting place for the thumb, ensuring comfortable and safe operation.
Handle scales constructed from G10 laminate offer a textured, anti-slip grip for optimal handling. The rear end of the handle features a hole designed for threading a lanyard, adding security against accidental loss.
A Kydex sheath is included with the knife.

I highly recommend it to everyone, because it's really worth it. Especially for lovers of Scandinavian knives, which are usually made with a wooden handle.

The knife is fully functional and definitely usable. It is carefully made, without defects, from high quality materials (Bohler O2 steel and G10 laminate). Comes with a matching kydex sheath. Additionally, it is a product of a Polish knifemaker.
