5 out of 5 Lionsteel Roundhead . . . Something New Under the Sun!!

Just received the Roundhead with the Ebony scales last week. As others have said, exceptional service from CK. Very prompt in replying to a couple of pre-purchase questions. On to the knife……..
I was not expecting too much at first other than a nice spear blade in a desirable modern steel. I was prepared to accept and overlook the finer details such as fit and finish from some of the reviews I had seen. (Not sure when those reviews were posted….and it seemed those guys couldn’t be talking about the same model i was now holding! If so they sure have a different opinion than I)
This knife certainly meets all my criteria for a fine piece of cutlery. I was initially concerned with the tang being a bit proud on the bolster end. Well, even though it does stand a bit tall, the entire spine of the blade is nicely rounded smooth and this continues to the very edge of the tang where that sharp edge has been ever so slightly rounded over. It is not sharp and catchy like some of my other favorite brands. I can’t put my finger on it but for some reason I have really been smitten by this knife. It feels so smooth when in the hand and the blade snap is just right.
I purchased the slip with the knife and when I received it immediately put it in my pocket as my every day carry. I do not see that changing any time soon unless it is to make room for the Warhorse model that I plan on picking up next.
So to sum it up….this knife gets very high marks in all categories. From Design, Materials used, Fit and Finish and overall execution, this one is hard to beat. A++

5 out of 5 Lovely example of modern manufacturing practices to produce a classic Barlow

I’ve had a Shuffler for a few months and just love it but there’s something about a spear point on a Barlow that just looks right. I wanted a natural handle material and love the ebony wood. The blade is very sharp and the blade grind is very good. The mechanics are excellent as are the fit and finish. Now I want the Dom to complete the set.
