If you're lioking at the company's online pic of this knife and sheath and thinking, "yeah but does it really look that nice in hand" the answer is a great big YES! Mine arrived today, and wow is all i can say. This knife is so impressive in every way. The wood handle is beautifully shaped, beefy and the ergonomics are fantastic. The Damascus blade is thick and gorgeous, and the sheath is very well crafted, holds the knife securely and looks so good. As someone who regularly uses and collects knives of quality, this knife gets a sky high two thumbs up. It looks awesome, it's made awesome, it's extremely comfortable in hand and the price is so fair and reasonable for what you're getting. I know you'll appreciate the value as much as I do. And yes, it arrives very sharp with a fingerprint grabbing blade edge. Buy with total confidence. This was my first White Hills Knives purchase, and it definitely won't be my last. They make a great knife at a great price.
