This is the third time I’ve ordered this very knife. The first two times were from a place in Canada called hero tactical. When I received those knives the cross guard was loose and jiggled I sent the first one back, explaining why they sent me another one, which was even worse so I sent it back and was quite unhappy. That’s when I decided to deal directly with you guys minus the leather wrap on the one I currently have being a little rough at the top, the cross guard is nice and secure. I do really enjoy the knife. The only downfall is the sheath sucks because the snap enclosure for the sharpening stone scratches and gouges the blade so now I have to spend $100 to get a custom sheath made other than that hopefully the knife will last me for many years.
