What makes a good review?

[jacobts2013]

Okay guys, I'm thinking about trying my hand in reviews soon. I in no way claim to be an expert on knives, just an enthusiast and a collector. However budgeted I may be with my collection (just ordered my most expensive knife, a sage 1) I know what I like in a knife and why because I do use them often. So my question is, what makes a good review and why?

Personally, I prefer reviews that are done after the person has some time to get a feel for the knife. Fresh out of the box reviews are good for getting a detailed look at fit and finish; but a few weeks use will give a better feel for how the knife performs, how well the edge holds up, if the handle is comfortable, etc. Pictures from both sides, open and closed, blade centering, locking mechanism, sheath, anything that catches your eye, or that you would wonder about when considering a knife. Size comparisons alongside other well known knives can be helpful, as well.
