Great knife. The finish is remarkable. The texture on the blade is like any other I’ve seen. Nice lightweight knife that cuts great. The VG10 steel is good for entry level. Very easy to sharpen,and has a wicked edge.Very pleased with this knife. I own several VG10 knives, and love all of them. Thx to CKTG for the great fast shipping.
