I purchased two of these. Both have minor gapping but not too severe. One is pretty nice with good walk and talk on both blades and reasonably sharp. The other has some disappointing flaws. Some pin heads were misaligned or double-struck ,the pile-side scale has a noticable pin-crack and the edge of one of the Bolsters has an odd bevel section where it appears they lost control while finishing/polishing–from any american other brands, I would consider this knife to be an obvious second and send it back but, unfortunately, I have come to understand that this is pretty standard QC from Bear and Sons.. Both knives are pretty dirty but that can be corrected with a good cleaning. As it is, Both knives do have nice stag scales and they are from an american maker ,so all things considered for the price they are OK..but not great so im keeping them as users. Fast shipping from Redhill. Its a crap shoot if you order one..you may get a nice one but dont be suprised if you dont…overall a bit disappointing….Wish Bear and Sons would take more pride in their workmanship but I have seen this in every one of their knives I have purchased.
