Much surprised to drive up 30 minutes ago and see a small box laying on my front porch - thought this would be my first knife of 2019, but it's my last of 2018 (however it's tang stamped 2019). Fit and finish is excellent, snappy opening and nice snappy close (a 6 on each), solid half stop, no blade play, even dye on the bone, even jigging on the bone - only mottled colored bone area is on the edges. I took two quick pictures in heavy overcast/failing light - back side photo (on the green garbage can lid) shows bone color as it is - brighter blue around the edges of the jigging. The front side picture was on the boat trailer tongue, only spot I have without foliage overhead, to show the bolster stamp clearly. If that bolster is cut, then it is much better than was done in 2007 - deep and smooth, all the way to the bottom. This knife is pretty close to perfect, especially for $57.99 shipped and classic too - no shield and a nice bolster stamp. OH
