What we liked

  • + Blade steel is named: 1066 high-carbon steel, 3mm thick, with a 60mm wide curved edge
  • + Full dimensions are listed: 165mm overall with a 105mm handle, light and easy to control
  • + Curved blade handles straight lines, curves, corners and skiving in one tool

Trade-offs

  • - 60mm blade is on the small side for long straight cuts through heavy hides
  • - No sheath or edge cover is mentioned, and high-carbon steel needs to be kept dry
