    Opps

    So I also over tightened the pommel and stripped it. I also followed the directions covering the blade instead of doing it like I normally do. 6 stitches later. All in I love the kit. I have made 4 different knives. This one is my favorite. My wife just bought me the lock blade to work on.

    They don’t fix their wrong

    I order the stacked knife with sheath as a gift. They sent the wrong sheath and after contacting them numerous times and several months of being told they’re looking into it, I'm chalking it up to my loss. I won’t order anything else from this company. Their customer service sucks!

    Don't over-tighten the pommel

    I'd love to leave a great review, but I can't as my knife is now garbage. I over-tightened the pommel and snapped the threads off the tang. Treat it gently I guess is my suggestion.

    I’ll buy another one

    The first step was to put the guard on the tang but it didn’t even com close to fitting. Luckily I have a belt sander and took some metal off. After that it was a smooth breeze, goin to buy some beeswax today. I intend on purchasing more.

    Thank you.

    I ordered this for my favorite guy,myself. I received my order in 2 days,as I was inspecting it I noted that there was a small default in the blade. I sent a text right away with a photo. I expected Man creates to send me a shipping label so I could return the blade.2 days later,Man crates sent me a whole new kit and told me to keep the other one for parts. I've never known a company with this kind of customer service and follow up on guarentee.or a company with such a great guarentee..thank u again

    Slightly disappointed

    I bought this for my husband. His third knife crate. The chef knife and pocket knife was his first two and all I heard was all the things that this kit did not contain. No files, glue was old and hardened, no beeswax included…. First two kits included everything he needed to completely finish knives and he was happy. He seems a little disappointed in this knife - wish I had come up with some other gift now for this kind of money.

    Man Crates Response: Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your gift coming in less than ideal condition. If you haven't already, definitely reach out to our team of Customer Champions who are standing by and happy to help with any order troubles you may have. They can be reached at guys@mancrates.com.

    Can't get the tang on

    The tang is way to tight, I suspect the tig weld warped the metal near the end with the threads and made it no longer flush

    Man Crates Response: Hi Miles! Sorry to hear you're having troubles with that defective-sounding kit. Whenever the need arises, feel free to reach out to us at guys@mancrates.com for support. We'd love the opportunity to make that right!

    Mediocre

    Gave it three stars, but it's more like a 2-1/2 - just OK.
    I received it as a Christmas gift this year and immediately got to working on it.
    We're gonna start with the bad stuff.
    The screw that the pommel fits on was bent and the weld was a little off-center. I was able to straighten it out - so no big deal.
    The hole in the blade guard was cut too small to fit over the tang. A few minutes with some diamond files and a belt sander fixed this, but geez... This would've been a total deal breaker for someone who didn't own much for tools. I even screwed up sanding the tang down a little and have an 1/8" gap between the blade and the guard to deal with.
    Exxxxxpenisve for what you get. I know a bit about blade steel and AUS-8, although good, is pretty cheap these days. The fact that the blade isn't stamped, makes me wonder if it's really even AUS-8. With that said, the milling on the blade is pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised at how sharp it was, straight out of the box. Buttttt, the steel could've easily been stamped VG-10 and there still would've been a comfortable profit. The leather looks fairly cheap, but it serves the purpose.
    Odor - The kit smells like Harbor Freight and an army surplus store teamed up to make an industrial air freshener. When I smell this delightful aroma, I automatically think "cheap."
    This one's more of a me thing - After several hours of rasping, filing and sanding, that old man voice came out in me and said, "You own power tools, dummy!" Yeah, I broke down and used the Dremel and the belt sander on the handle. I could only take so much.
    Last gripe - the sheath design changed a little and the instructions didn't. Not a big deal for me, but could befuddle some.
    Bottom line - It's a good, productive time killer and the knife looks pretty cool, when finished (except for the annoying gap between the blade and the guard).
    The blade steel doesn't matter to me much, 'cause I don't really plan on actually using this knife. But, the price tag on the product for what you're actually getting is extremely steep. You can buy an assembled, name-brand knife with better steel for less money.

    Man Crates Response: Hey there, thank you for your feedback! Apologies that you were disappointed in the knife kit you received! We do our best to offer a great experience and value for the price and we're sorry to hear we missed that mark for you. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all of our products, so when you're not happy, we're not happy! We'd be glad for the opportunity to work with you to make this right by offering a free product replacement, discount, or we can arrange a cost free and hassle free return pick-up at the location of your choice if you just want a full refund. Please give us a call at 866-902-7260 and we'd be happy to work with you to make this right.

    Could have been better

    Unfortunately it doesn't come with anything to shape the leather handle.
    Which kinda sucked cause my husband had to go buy stuff from the store to finish it.

    Did not come in a fun crate to pry open.

    The knife itself is nice. It arrived in a boring cardboard box. Lesson learned, not all Man Crates come in an actual crate even though the names implies it. I paid for the concept of prying open a crate to get to the gift, not a piece of cardboard.
