Received the knife from Sam, and it feels just right in hand. Comfortable handle with great ergonomics, balance on the bolster, grinds are spot on, nice clean joints and one of the sharpest convex edges I've ever experienced. Plus a well-crafted, handsome sheath with a nice snug fit. Very satisfied on all counts, and I'm glad to be able to heartily recommend Sam not only for his beautiful designs but for the high level craftsmanship he applies in making them a reality. :thumbup:
