I said earlier I'd give first impressions when this knife turned up. Well, first impression, awesome. It's a beast of a thing. Weighty in hand and solid as a rock. The scales are very slightly rough. I prefer very smooth scales but as Andy pointed out to me, with a knife this big and heavy, a glossy handle could result in blisters. I'll leave it as is for now and see how I go.
Great work Andy.
