In my opinion as someone who has worked with knives, chisels and axes, I can say that this it a well made and sturdy blade, perfect for anything from camping outdoors to in the kitchen, these blades with there rustic older fashion and high quality metal are a perfect mix, whether a collector or someone one just likes the rustic look its the perfect blade.
I know I will be buying more of these high quality blades, many even with a cheeky bottle of mead.
