positive: The knife makes only once a very solid impression; The wood has a beautiful grain and the strap is firmly secured (the screws do not loosen, as I have experienced it in a different diameter). It is very sharp and therefore also perfectly suited to intersect the apple in between small ... negative: ... Can be part of a great deal as an apple to the knife but did not use! In the first contact with wood the same to me once the peak has been broken; I've only ever thought nothing and reground, but at the first opportunity the rest of the blade is then also canceled ... some pressure on wood here was perfectly adequate! Now I have a very solid grip - but without blade :-(
