Amazing Knife

The customer service with this company is second to none. I didn't realize they were closed on Fridays and I was hoping to pick up my knife before the long Memorial Day weekend. I reached out on social media and they arranged someone to meet me at the shop to pick up my knife! This knife was the talk of the BBQ. Beautiful craftsman's ship and cant believe how sharpe and light it is. I will be adding more to my collections soon.
