Fit and finish is average and the edge was decent. Grinds a bit off. The knife is to thick and the grind is to shallow. I had to completely regrind the blade to a full flat grind to get decent cutting performance. I wouldn't recommend this knife unless you are OK with putting a lot of work into it.
