Im sure this is a quality blade like and I imagine anybody who buys it will be happy with it on that front, but my. God. That has to be the ugliest knife I've seen in my life.
It's like they took the worst parts of every style of knife making...they took the awkward handle of a Japanese knife and stuck it on something with a blade half the size. The curve of the handle looks more like it melted that way than anything else, like it was left in a glovebox in the hot sun underneath something heavy.
Don't get me started on the green texture underneath...as far as the actual "beads", they actually look cool on their own, like raindrops, but cram them into a space that small and give them a sickly green color and you end up with a blade that looks like it has a venereal disease.
The blade's pattern isn't doing it any favors either. It's like they couldn't decide between "fake aged" and "tribal", and the two were haphazardly lumped together. Again the green does no favors, and combined, it ends up looking like a rejected stage prop from Legends of the Hidden Temple, with that gaudy "fake aged" look and the "mysterious" green that somehow just doesn't quite cut it.
Okay, sorry that was pretty ridiculous, I think I'm about good. Don't mind me, I don't know what I'm saying...I just had to let that out! Like I said, I'm sure it's a great blade, it's just gotta be one of the ugliest looking knives I've ever seen!!!
