Got it as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. My dad watches in jealousy lol.

I was on the verge of purchasing this item for my father in law's birthday. I am actually going to try to find something else on the website because I am definitely in it for the crate opening. I just wanted to say I am thoroughly impressed with your responsiveness and customer service. After having read how you've responded to criticism on this particular product, I am happy to support you folks. Any company that takes care of its customer's like you seem to do, is one I'll gladly give my hard earned money to. Good on ya M.C.

I got this as a Christmas gift. I can't express how satisfying it's been to form and shape the handle to my own whim. The sheath is a nice extra touch. Everything about this project is fun and absorbing. Makes me want to build another...maybe with leather washers for the handle material? I can't think of a single fella that wouldn't enjoy this kit.

Birch chips were good, the blade was good, but the pommel was not threaded. Since that is what acts as a clamp to hold the glued up handle sections, it was an issue. I had to use actual hardware I had and drill out the pommel and just epoxy it on. Not ideal. Will likely have to make a new pommel if/when this one comes off or loose. Disappointed that wasn’t caught before shipping. Made it more of a project than I intended it to be. Lesson learned is to double check ALL fasteners and parts before starting assembly.

Ok, the product inside looks nice. It came SUPER fast all the way to Alaska. It's a gift for my husband, so he hasn't opened or used it yet. I am just very disappointed that it did not come trapped in a crate. I know now that it is labeled in the product description and I missed it. I just wasnt checking to see how it would arrive. I thought the whole point of this company was locking various amazing products inside a crate. I was certainly looking forward to my husband struggling to open the crate, not a simple cardboard box. It somehow makes the knife kit inside just seem lame. It's ManCrates for heaven sake!!! Where is his crate?? Super bummed!

The walnut end piece for the knife had the wrong size nut. I had to drill it out and replace it. The holster leather pieces require trimming because of inaccurate cutting. The holster screws are very difficult to connect because they are not long enough. The Guerilla Glue did not hold the leather pieces together. It was totally worthless. The belt loop screw pops out and does not hold the belt loop together. In addition there is no guard on the knife blade which most sheath knifes have.
