PLEASE NOTE: If you appreciated this review please give it a “thumbs up/like” your helping me to continue to give honest/unbiased insight into products I’ve used and you may have questions about. Interested in a product but don't know enough about it and would like it reviewed? Please let me know and I'll see what I can do... Thank you 🙏
But it does the job I bought it for, I've even abused the blade a little bit (due to my eye sight) and it's still just as sharp as it was when I unboxed it! Good! I need disability!

The blade on this knife is extremely sharp - almost unbelievable how sharp the blade is. After cutting everything from paper to plastic over the last few weeks, I'm happy to say that the blade remains sharp.
The grip is nice and the handle feels very well built (made entirely of metal). The plastic blade guard is useful and works well to protect the blade and my skin from accidental jabs.
Overall, I'm really happy with this knife and it's quickly become a "must have" in my hobby crafting kit!
