No.08 Ellipse Polished Stainless Steel Folding Knife

Slightly disappointing

Nice knife but slightly disappointing on a few counts. Firstly the knife blade I received was not sharpened all the way up to the tip forcing me to sharpen it the day that I received it. Quite annoying and not what I expected from a knife advertised as "sharp out of the box". The blade is described as "polished" on the web page .. I would say that this is not true. The blade I received had more of a satin finish (stainless appliance type) than a true polish. Maybe it was the polishers day off? The blade open and close movement on mine is incredibly stiff. I hope that this will loosen up over time but I do agree that it's better than being too loose. So overall, I expected a premium version .. and what I got seemed more like the cheaper versions.
