Very good quality, design, and strength, especially for the price. Razor sharp out of the box. Full tang with a bolt-on pommel, it’s a beast of a knife. I own knives from many high-end manufacturers and it’s hard to beat this one for ~$60 delivered. D2 seems to be legit and properly heat-treated. Never owned a NedFoss before but will definitely consider them for future “beater blades.”
