Introduction
I've had this knife for about six months now, and it has quickly become one of my daily carries. I bought this knife because of the straight lines and sharp corners on the blade.
The Blade
The blade is an American Tanto design. The blade material is AUS-8 stainless, which in my opinion is a good steel. The blade is the main reason why I picked this knife. I love the straight lines and sharp corners, and the fact that it is 4mm thick is just awesome.

The Handle
The handle is G-10 which is wasted because it offers very little texture. The liners are 420 stainless which have been drew back into the handle to save weight. The handle is also a open pillar design which allows dirt and pocket lint to get inside, but that is easily cleaned out with a gas duster.

Conclusion
I give this knife 4 out of 5 just because the maker could've did a better job on the texturing. As you can see in the picture my pinky is bandage up, this is a result of the lack of texture
P.S.
Let me know if I could do something better on my reviews.
