Thought it was a good review, Alexander.  Might be misaken, but I only saw 2 negatives in your review, and a little oil took care of 1.  Since mine is going to work, I may be less critical on mine, (though I didn't ned to).  Guess If I intended to just put it in a shelf to look at I'd have cause to complain of blade rub too.

Well JJ, you might not like my review of it. But the review is up now.

I'm certainly glad. I was kind of upset by all the folks that had problems with them. I'm hoping that by next week I'll get some time to do some pit carving with mine. Christmas is just around the corner and I have some to carve as gifts.

JJ,

To answer your question, no.  We bought three and each one is awesome.  There was a corner on one with a bit of an edge but I actually hit it a few times with my emory board and ...no more rough.

Donnie uses one of them on a regular basis for work and has had no issues.  It walks/talks and stays just as it should.  He does a multitude of tasks with it so it does need sharpening sometimes LOL.  But it holds an edge well and takes one easily when it need to

Just wondering...with such a small run of knives, am I the only one happy with my Geppetto?

JJ, Thanks for taking the time out of a busy weekend to give us a review

I'm not much good at knife reviews, Alexander, but here goes.

I really love my Little Geppetto whittler.  I got one when they first came out and I feel that the iKC Club knife may be built a bit better.

Fit and finish is just beautiful.  No gaps and the bolster to handle transition is flawless.  Backsprings are good (and I like them strong).  "Great walk and talk".

I'm still limbering mine up a bit as they are snug.

Blades aren't "super" sharp, but I was able to shave hair with 2 out of the 3.  A couple of minutes tuned them all up to my carving standards.

The only "problem" that I've heard of is the master blade rides a hair high which can be remadied by filing the blade kick slightly.  Not an uncommon task, I do it on my working Seahorses when they are high.

All in all, I'm giving this one a 10, and 2 thumbs up.

Allright, just wondering. People here on this group should be the more critical of our little community. So I'm wondering what you guys think of our little iKC Gepetto Whittler knives.

well Blade mag had an article I thought was interesting.  I happen to like the informal types of reviews we have mostly.  But apparently someone has a "plan" for a review.  Just thought I would share it...

These are headlines to make up a knife review 

#1 Presenting the knife 
Pic's, Brand, Measures, Steel, Rc hardness, Grind, Geometry, Tang, Handle, sheath.

#2 Purpose of use 
What uses did the maker design the knife for? 

#3 The reviewers purposes with buying the reviewed knife. 
Kitchen, Wilderness, Camping, EDC, Utility, Bushcraft, Survival,Collection, etc.


#4 Showing how the knife works by the reviewer for the intended purposes. 
For example, reviewing a 4" utility knife can use these headlines:

Hunting
Fishing
Bushcraft
Kitchen
Professional use
