“I got the Stone river ceramic blade and sandalwood scales, SRG-AG2SW. When received, the very tip of the blade, only half a millimeter or less, had already chipped off. I more or less expected this to happen soon, just not that soon. However, the blade, new, isn't even as sharp as the cheapest steel blade I ever bought. The old Swiss Army knife blade that I sharpen on the back of my dinner plate performs better. That's a poor recommendation for the offered professional sharpening service. Finally, there's a shallow gouge in one of the scales that eluded polishing. (See the photo.) I've purchased a "cosmetic second" from you folks that's not as bad, considering that that one will probably be easier to touch up. I'm rating this knife as high as "fair" only because I like its design, and I still think I can correct the blade. I might be wrong. I would consider dropping this manufacturer.

“One hand opening folder. Stainless steel handle. I've inherited it from my father years ago, and your catalog does not seem to have a specific model number. It's only described as one handed folder (K87).
It's a great knife of great design, and a nice sleek fit. The only problem I've had with it, is that it's flat stainless steel handles have let it slip out of my pocket a few times unintentionally. But in slipping out of my pocket, I have an example of how well made the knife is and how good the quality of materials are. I lost the knife one time in the laundry, and there was also a magnet that fell out of my pocket too.  In the washing machine drum, the knife was held by the magnet on the inner edge for one entire year, being washed load after load after load. I thought I had lost it forever. Then one day in repairing the washing machine, I found the knife attached to the magnet on the inside lip where I couldn't see it. A Year's worth of washing, left no mark, or rust, or anything to damage the knife. All it needed was a little oil and it's the same as before. I think my father bought it maybe, 30 years ago.  It just goes to show, there's nothing like American made quality. ”
