I have the knife now since February and already extensively benutzt.Das blade is super sharp and had yet to be reground and I've constantly in use too. Whether the famous tomato test, really hard sausage or raw meat, it cuts to the utmost satisfaction and without tearing. Excellent ! The leather sheath is certainly not a luxury item, but you can for the price probably not expected, yet meticulously crafted. Mainly the quality is in the meter and that is far way. From me a buy recommendation.
