Title: Excellent utility knife, not sharpened properly out of box
Review: I'm slowly becoming a fan of these knives. The blade quality is amazing. It's not the easiest knife to sharpen, but you don't need to do it often. Handle is comfortable and the balance is just right for this sort of knife. I used it to dress some steaks, chop some ginger, and other miscellany around the kitchen. I have another one of these with my camping gear but have not used it outdoors yet.I gave it four stars because it was not sharpened properly out of the box. There was a section of the blade along the curve that was almost dull. The rest of the blade was razor sharp so it made it quite obvious. It does sharpen well after running it through a fixed-angle sharpener, but because the steel is so hard, be prepared to exert some pressure initially. The sheath is adequate. It has a belt clip that pops off too easily. I need two hands to remove the knife from the sheath otherwise it just pops off my belt.
Is the review positive or negative?
