So it was estimated I would get it Monday, but looks like Good Friday came a couple weeks late for me! I couldn't br more thrilled with my purchase! The weight is perfectly balanced in my opinion. When chopping a few pieces of a tree we had drying in the yard, it wanted to land right where it would do the most cutting, right in what I think is the belly or the fish head part of the blade. Feel free to let me know if I'm wrong on my terminology. The handle is so comfortable without any hot spots on it. The sheath is gorgeous and extremely well made from first impressions. Great retention as well. This will not be my only purchase from them. I just wish my card had the name of the Smith who forged my blade so I could personally thank them. I thought I read that you could tell the Smith by the stamp on the blade. Everyone had a specific mark. If there is a way to tell that would be awesome. The forge scale that is left at the top of the blade looks so good as a contrast to the satin finished edge! I know it's not the flashiest of the models they offer, but it's beauty to me lies in its simplicity but attention to detail. This is going to be my outdoors knife that always goes with me on camping trips and hikes. Gives me a reason to be outdoors more, and do more. This whole experience was awesome and I cannot wait to use this for things I wouldn't have dreamed to use a knife on in the past. Went with the havy duty grind so I wouldn't be likely to damage my new found love, and it is still near razor sharp! Excellent excellent excellent! hopefully my imgur link works. My expectations have far been surpassed on this blade, which as I said will be the first of many! Keep up the amazing work!
