The micarta is not fully polished so there is texture to it. The blade is sharp and the functionality is great. The knife is smooth to open and close and easy to maintain. The only downside is the pocket clip, but I know they are working to improve it in future models.

This knife is custom quality at production value. I have had other major manufacturer brands that are more expensive but less thought of. The Carter is in my pocket everyday and will be for the foreseeable future. Thank you for an awesome statement tool.

The knife was everything I had hoped for; the fit and finish was flawless and the micarta was the best I've ever seen. I've read other reviews where the feeling that the blade steel didn't justify the price but if VG 10 is good enough for sushi chefs then screw the steel snobs that just jump on the latest bandwagon. This is currently my most carried and favorite edc; very sharp out of the box and just classy as hell without being too self consciously "elegant". I love this knife and and what your company brings to the knife community. I'm looking forward to see what you guys do next!

Nothing beats them.

This is the most amazing knife I own. The craftsmanship and quality is better than I could have imagined. Light weight, smooth opening and closing and sharp.

I can’t stop showing it to people.
