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.
GixxhoI 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.
