This is possibly the best finished knife in a collection of hunting knives. I have been totally thrilled with the level of craftstionship that goes into these Russian knives. This is the second knife I have bought from Rosarms and both are a step or two above the quality i get from any other maker here in the states. The fit and finish of the two I have is literaly perfect-- high praise but I've owned a number of hunters in the $230 to $350 dollar range that do not match this knife for quality -- I will be back for more ----- John H
