Old-school Massdroppers know that reviews and comments are EVERYTHING here (unlike most other sites). It has always been the best part of this community. Ignore them at your peril (i.e. buyer beware).

I skipped all the drops for this knife because of QC issues in the discussions. A friend of mine picked one up from the last drop thinking they might straighten things out.
NO.
Unfinished tang.
Scales miss aligned with tang.
Epoxy in three areas.
One scale 1/8" thick, the other 1/4".
How does this crap leave the factory?

Can someone from Drop comment on the QC issues? This thing looks beautiful but nobody wants the duds from the past drops.

Thanks for your input. This looks beautiful in the pics, it's a shame they're shipping something totally different.

Received mine today. DO NOT BUY EVER! I wish I would have read the discussions before purchasing. The quality is terrible. Flaws are multiple. When I noticed my first flaw I thought I could suck it up and be happy, as I rotated the knife around I wondered if a school for the blind had manufactured and assembled these.

Anybody have any recent experience and review of this? Everything I find about it here is pretty negative, unfortunate because it looks like a real nice blade.

That's nice but I'm not a fan of that blade style. I really wish someone had someone recent feedback. This knife is beautiful.

VTDieselYeah the link I gave is an American made (not that that always means quality Japanese vg10 is usually pretty good) but it also is in the $99 from $250 red flag discount arena difference here is Ontario usually has good reviews (trailing point can be an acquired taste) Hiro if it is who I think it is are more known for kitchen knives . I really do believe this is a close out deal here too , and not the good kind ,there isn't that much unique about this model if you really like it go to Blade hq, or Knife Center, or Knives Ship Free and use their search tools you might be surprised . I wish I could at least find a off site review of this one but no luck so far . At the end of the day your taste your money if it wont break ya and you really like it go for it I doubt you will see it back here and I would be lying if I said I never bought a knife with less than grand reviews and fit and finish can be overcome ,the blade grind can be another issue but again can be corrected (this can add quite a few dollars if you go to a pro) sorry though I know the feeling tough trigger for ya to pull here. Good luck either way!

Too bad that the quality control on this knife appears to have gone seriously down hill. I purchased one from Mass drop over a year ago and was lucky enough to get one that was put together well.

Got mine today and wow, what a disappointment! The handle has a half a millimeter gap between the tank, looks like its not properly glued. The grinding of the blade is worst than a $20 buck knife, to be honest I do a better grind myself. Wish there is way I can get a refund for this catastrophe. Take a look at the right hand side of the blade right before the handle. It is so unevenly grind. Buyer's beware.

I am surprised that Massdrop is still teaming up with this manufacturer after so many people have complained about quality issues. I picked up a Casstrom No.10 Swedish Forest Knife for $125 and am super happy with it. Blade is Bohler K720 (O2 Tool Steel) scandi ground, leather sheath, 3.8" blade, made in Sweden. Solid knife that looks good and fit & finish is top notch. They also make the same model in Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel for the same price if thats your preference.
It's unfortunate because this seems like a great knife for a good price when you look at the specs but it seems like a roll of the dice whether or not you get a good one or not.

CampCatskillYeah, I tend to agree.... But I gotta give it to massdrop for being so prompt in resolving the issue. I would of been PISSED to the nth degree if I had to keep pay for that knife.
