Arrived sharp as a laser.
I love longer blades for all kinds of cutting.
Handle is perfect for me and with the sheath, it can be more easily stored without worrying about the edge.
Super light as well, highly recommended knife.
Plus the guys packaged is extremely well and had it sent quickly.
Couldn’t be happier and if I ever need another cutting tool, I’ll definitely go theough The Blades Runner again 👌
