Beautiful knife

"Such an awesome knife. Best knife I’ve ever owned , thank you"

— Quintin L. (5/5)

More than expected! Value A+

"If I were ordering again, I would select a smaller of this collection, simply due to size and weight preference of a kitchen chef knife. Certainly happy with the value and receiving within a few days of ordering."

— James M. (5/5)

Needs a solution to transport

"I really like the knife but I am disappointed that this knife is advertised and designed for camping/overlanding but doesn’t come with any sort of way to transport. The knife comes in a box and the blade is wrapped in cardboard. The leather sheath is no longer available for this size and the edge guards that are available on the website do not fit well (I called customer service for advice and they said they’d pass along the feedback to the owner). For this price tag, I would have expected something to protect the knife while in transport."

— John B. (4/5)

Craftsmanship all the way!

"This is a masterpiece, from the full tang to the quality of the blade, the handle and the grip. It is massive, heavy and perfectly suitable for an overloading kitchen"

— binyamin k. (5/5)

Absolutely beautiful

"I fell in love with this knife the moment I saw it. The design, the materials, the aesthetics, its the definition of perfection. So I knew I knew I would end up purchasing it sooner or later. Well, I must not have been the only one who loved it. I had it for 1 week, and during work there was an emergency. I moved it from my cutting board to a safer place with all the house knives, stepped away for 10 minutes, when I came back my knife was missing. I checked everywhere, never found it. So long story short, this knife is a dream, but personally I HIGHLY suggest to buy the guard with the belt loop for safe keeping…..anyway, I’ll never stop saying that Messermiester out did themselves on this piece!!"

— Rebecca S. (5/5)

Very satisfied

"The Craftsmanship was hands down the best. Knife definitely won't disappoint Shipping was even faster than what I anticipated. Ready to order more. ."
