Perfection

Just as advertised!

Before I buy at least two more of these as gifts to friends, I want to mention that I would prefer a slightly longer handle and a finger groove before the sharpened blade. I own three James knives and I've cut myself within the first five minutes of handling all of them! How I can possibly keep the same edge on this particular knife is beyond my skills. The sheath is an interesting choice of material and probably works well in wet conditions. Here is New Mexico, I prefer leather. I think this knife is worth every penny: Beautifully made and rugged build.

Not much to say except it is VERY well built, has a very attractive look and feel, cuts like a dream, and an absolute pleasure to use.

A thoughtful and well executed personal blade that acquits itself well in duties requiring a single choice to cover multiple jobs while overlanding in the most demanding environments... would match well w a light daypack rig.
